@Jordan, what kind of bike is that?
I rode 25 miles yesterday for the first time ever! Who hoo! There was a definite difference when I rode from one county (more urban & more $$$) and the next county, where the roads were noticeably rough (smaller county with less $$).

It's an old Trek 620 (1983, I think?). I love it a lot and am slowly switching out the components and turning it into a superbike!

not a total newb but took some time off after a big scare on the road. Today was my first day back in heavier traffic! Was out for only 30 minutes but I survived!

hurrah, Ruby! How do you feel now?
I rode into town to go the opticians and run some errands today. It was a beautiful morning, and the panniers are brilliant for bringing stuff back. The bike stands I saw were all 70%-100% full, which I guess is due to our fuel still going up.Dawes Cambridge Mixte, Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Vita.

First long ride
I did 31 miles last Sunday. 1/2 of the Salem, Oregon Monster Cookie Ride. Never thought i could do it, and at the end of the day i felt good. Ok my butt was sore (looking for riding shorts now). We had beautiful weather and peanut butter and jelly never tasted so good at the 15 mile rest stop. We had a few practice rides before this one, the longest being 13 miles. Can't wait for the next ride!
