Hi Ladies!

bcipam -- You are not old!! You know, I really am having more fun riding, and I'm not so self-conscious any longer, which is wonderful !!

posted by bcipam -- For every one of you are 1000 people sitting on a couch doing nothing but getting old fast!
Isn't that true -- I really hadn't given that much thought!

Bikingmomof3 -- Welcome to TE and to the wonderful world of cycling !!
I'll bet that your husband and sons are very proud of you, too! It took me awhile to be comfortable on the road -- I stayed in parking lots for a few summers, until June 5th of this year. My husband and I decided that I might be able to enjoy riding if we tried a bike path, which we did. Now, we enjoy riding on beautiful, scenic country roads .
It was like I was paralyzed being around cars & trucks (while on my bike). I was much too nervous to enjoy anything.

As someone else said here on this thread... PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION!!

Have a peaceful day everyone....

Denise
