Congratulations on taking the first step. As the previous notes stated each time you go out and ride you will gain in confidence. I have walked up a few hills myself. Last week I made it up a hill I have always had to walk and boy did I do the arm pump - YES!!! when I made the top. It made me feel so good.

We live in the Spokane area and have some great paved trails to ride. Every week we meet new people and wave at the friends we have met. Don't give up and soon you will be riding with your husband and mother-in-law.

Keep us posted on your progress.
