Your post made me smile on a pretty hairy day, thank you! I sooo love your enthusiasm and joy! 38 miles is an incredible ride - feel proud and accomplished and everything else - and not just for the ride. Feel that way about getting up off the couch and running, swimming and spinning/cycling. So many people never dare and because they don't they miss so much. Feel proud that you are willing to dare. Ride On! (And run on and swim on!)
