Nine sounds good to me. I'm getting old and trying to make things last longer

Glad to know I'm not alone!
I really don't have any desire to ride faster (risk taker, I am not!).

I started at 6mph. I think I can 11-12 now, if I feel like it, but I don't always feel like it.

I'm all for slow and steady! Mostly I go at about 8-10 mph too...funny one morning I went out for a ride, went around 13 miles and when I got home DH said, "where the heck have you been?" -guess I took an extra long time!
I think anyone who takes the time to get up, get out, and get rolling is doing something positive and that is a wonderful thing!

The sad part is that I'm working decently hard to go that 9 miles an hour, LOL. I guess that's what I get for keeping my crappy bike, but I figure I'm getting an awesome workout. When I finally upgrade I'm going to feel so spoiled!

I feel the same way! I think your Huffy has my W**mart MTB beat for sure...
I hope to get a new bike next month and I know it will make a huge difference.

My Huffy (also an MTB) is probably from Walmart too. I try to tell myself that dorky is the new cool!

Gals:
Think of the bright side... It's a whole lot faster than if you had to walk!!!
And no, despite what Bicycling Magazine and RoadBikeRider.com might want you to think, it ain't a sin to ride slow.
... but it's a sin not to ride!
Y'all have fun...
