    Hi....my name is Kathy, I'm 51 yrs. old and just bought a new Trek 3900 WSD.
    My husband has been riding for 3 yrs. and I'm just finally getting around to joining him. I look forward to chatting with other women who are also riding.
    Any advice for the newbie?

    if you sweat, you're working. That's good. I'm 57 and have ridden over 1700 miles this year, a little bit at a time.

    Hi Kathy! I'm 49 and started the end of May. I have found this to be a very friendly group and no question goes unanswered.

    Have fun. (And keep an eye out for ditches )

    Have fun... and beware the urge to shop team estrogen's store... it's addictive!
