Welcome, Nancy! 45 minutes a day in this heat? You rock!

Hi Nancy from another Nancy-
I started out with a Jamis Quest. What is the Explorer? Hybrid?
Glad to see you are back on a bike. Nothing like cycling to loose weight!![]()

This mileage thing gets pretty addictive. Since you live in Florida I suspect you'll be doing lots of early morning rides. Enjoy the light- a favorite time of the day for me.
Keep us posted on your progress. This is a very supportive group!

Cool!! Where in Florida? I'm in Alachua, just a little bit northwest of Gainesville.

Hey, are you talking about Horse Farm Hundred? I did a shorter version of that last year-it's pretty! Santa Fe Century, the day before, is flat. That's my home territory. Then there's the Horrible Hundred in Clermont in November, which has bad hills, but if you can't make it up, lots of people walk- and the support is great, and they have a short 37 mile ride- maybe even shorter. That's the ride that made me fall in love with road biking!
