    It's all good! You can still do rides this year and do the CIG next.

    Yes, traffic still terrifies me too...and gravel, and wind..... As you can tell by the redness in my hands from my death grip on the hoods. (Seeking gloves with NO stitching and lots of padding btw thumb and forefinger.)
    Why not go out on a limb? That's where all the fruit is!

    Hi Marina,

    I think with a little practice you will be just fine. Don't worry, I am not too keen riding in traffic either and try to avoid the real main roads when riding by myself. When I am with my husband and others I just follow along.

    The guy from Huntington sounded really nice. My friend and I plan on going to the meeting tomorrow night. If you go please let me know so I can look for you.

    Talk to you soon ~ JoAnn

    Hi JoAnn,

    I dont know if i will be able to make it tomorrow, I usually get home late after work, the bus that goes from midtown to Bayside takes an hour and a half. By car it takes 15 minutes and I am home. I am def. interested to hear about the meeting :-) keep me posted please.

    I hate traffic! i am spoiled though I leave in a beach town in calif that has very little traffic. Would you be more compfortable if wennt back to normal pedals? My SO has clipless with a bit of a platform on it.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    I am already so used to the idea that I am riding with clipless that I don't think I will be more comfortable on platforms. I will just keep practicing Good luck
