New Gal! Excited about cycling!

I second the vote for the Astrale 8 - easy to install yourself (if you are a little bit "handy"), cheap ($40), and totally (so far) reliable.

I actually got mine for $25. http://www.bestwebbuys.com/bikes/index.html

Kerry - I Just looked at the map and 'm not very far from you. We rode from Frankford to Trap Pond today, and our route took us just a few miles from you. All the traffic must have been at the beach cause we hardly had any cars in 35 miles.

if you have not ridden on Rt. 54 thru the cypress swamp, it's beautiful through there with a fabulous canopy of trees over the road - nice and cool. I would recommend it. No shoulder, but no cars either.

Anyway, if you want to meet in the middle somewhere I'd be happy to ride with you and if there's anything I can help with, I will. Sunday would be good, and then Thurs-Sun the following week, I'll be on the CAM ride at Princess Anne. Maybe we can get together then?
