Hi Robyn, Lise & Trekhawk!

Thanks so much for responding to my post.
I didn't get much sleep last night, (because of insomnia/fibromyalgia), but, I awoke this morning very happy with a smile on my face.
It made me feel so good knowing that Ben & I really did go out for a bike ride yesterday and that we both thoroughly enjoyed it!!

We're planning on going out again much later this afternoon for a ride. Perhaps we'll be able to go further today??
What's the best way to increase mileage?
Eventually we'd love to be able to go on rides with that Mass Bike, AMC, CRW etc..., has in the future, but first, we've got to work up to where we can ride (at least) 30 miles comfortably, with a few GOOD hills added in there.
Does that sound about right?

ROBYN: Thank you for offering to give me some hints on riding in low traffic areas out this way. I sent you an e-mail this morning.

Take care everyone & have a wonderful day!!
