I haven't mastered that one yet, though I keep trying!

As a newbie, I have no words of wisdom for you linzq but remember to have fun out there. You are braver than many, trying all those new things PLUS traffic! I like the parking lot suggestion until you are more comfortable.

I did 10 miles on Sunday, my longest yet. Next time though, I'll remember the sunblock. Temp on my bike computer read 105.5 (asphalt trail)!

May I add, bikers are so nice. Had to stop a few times outside of rest areas and every time I did, everyone passing asked if I just resting or needed help. I really liked that.
