    Thank you so much ladies, you encourage me! I can ride every day only if my painful butt lets me! I take a one day brake after 3-4 days riding. I went my usual road today the 5 miles and it was soooo hard to keep going up the hill, I thought would be easier after yesterdays ride maybe I'm just to tired!
    You can make your life what you want it to be through belief in God and in yourself.

    take a rest day - it's important to let your body recover.

    You may need another saddle - I don't know what's on the bike that you have. Is your butt just generally sore because the saddle's hard, or are specific parts of it hurting?

    You may also want to buy some padded bike shorts to help.

    And it's really great that you kept riding after being clipped and knocked over on your 2nd time out.

    Great, Marta! My friend is visiting DC (with bike) and called me from the bike path on the Wilson Bridge. Said it was great!
