Congrats! If you are already going 14mph on a mountain bike, you'll definitely start at 17mph on your road bike without any problems over those same 13miles.
Wish I was as athletic as you.

Hello!
Welcome to biking! I am also a former runner- though I still get a fix by helping with my daughters xc team (:......The main thing that helped me be completely happy with other sports is to have fun! Screaming down hills and shooting white water have replaced running totally! There was a time when I never thought I would quit missing running...so take heart! (:

That's pretty fast on a mountain bike.
I want to do tris and was getting a bit nervous about the bike part since all I was riding was a mountain bike. It's amazing how much faster a road bike is, but it is taking me a bit to not be terrified by those really skinny tires.

Welcome!! Road bicycling is the next endorphin fix for a lot of people with runner injuries
...hopefully you can share your experiences of a positive new bicycling journey with others who need to make a move out of running!!!
Country roads should make it even more enjoyable to share the experience with your husband too!
