"[/QUOTE]I know sometimes it's frustrating to ride with the fast girls and get dropped. But I look at it this way: my effort is 100 times better than the 90 percent of people who don't get off the couch!

I LOVE THAT "GRANNY ON" STUFF! I am a grandma although I seldom admit it! I think all us "Cyclin' grannies" should band together!!

I love your philosophy about those who never get off the couch -- that used to be ME!!!
