I guess my 'newbie accomplishment* is getting hubby to go for a short ride with me today. He borrowed a bike from a friend. It was an antique, single speed bike. We rode a bit over 4 miles total before he was worn out! We traded bikes for the last mile so he could see that it doesnt have to be that hard! Not sure if he will be willing to do it again, but I tried to get him out there with me!
