Thanks Ladies! Your words of support mean a LOT to me!

Arnaew, you're a HUGE inspiration! I can't believe how many rides you've done, and the HUGE improvements in stamina you've made. Where do you get to hear of these rides? There doesn't seem to be so many here in Sydney. There's one next week at Blayney to Bathurst (but the end is you have to do Mt Panorama yikes!) which I can't get to, then there's one in Kariong in central coast, but DH is working....

CorsairMac, I fell with one leg on the ground and one clipped in. I leaned towards the clipped in side (duh) and fell. My bro-in-law had just finished telling me in a kinda jokey way not to fall at the start because of the embarrassment factor , so I think this may have a bearing on the nerviness. Well the result was a bit of a scraped knee, a bit of blood that's all. But the other scraped knee had just healed so I guess I had to have more war wounds to replace the healed ones

Anyway c' est la vie.
