I love reading all of your accomplishments!

I entered my very first cycling race! It is in two weeks. I am terrified, and very excited.

I did the 44km option of the Dwellingup 100 today..One word: HILLY but tons of fun & some sweet sweet singletrack

I'll post a ride report with some pics tomorrow.

This thread is incredibly motivating! My proudest moment was 3 weeks ago when I decided to dust off that road bike an ex-boyfriend built for me last year. I had only been on twice before we broke up. I was determined to figure out how this thing worked. I bought some gear, you tubed how to air up my tires and off I went! I have only been out 3 times on flat roads, average 15 mph and ride about 15-17 miles. It's a start, right? Oh, found a new boy to ride with; don't know if he will stick around, but I am committed to riding - with or without a boy!

I JUST started riding, so this seems like a goal that will be sooooo far away for me, but I want to...... i am jealous.

I started road biking 6 weeks ago, so I am guessing I have no idea what I am in store for, but it will be fun either way! You can do it!

I'm feeling pleased with myself although it's probably for odd reasons.

Today my derailer snapped off and went into my wheel.

I calmly stopped on a dime, unclipped flawlessly and didn't even break a spoke. Bike shop says that it was probably bent from last week's two lay downs in one ride. He showed me what to check next time. I told him not to worry, if I go down I'll fall left.

The only PITA part was the blister I got from walking home. I'm happy, though. It could have been a lot worse.

Now I'm just waiting to find out if they can just replace just the hanger or if more needs to be replaced.

P.S. - My bike shop just called and said that my bike is all fixed, turned up and ready to go for $60. I think I'm in love.
