Hi girls. I am so glad I have this site to come to to read other's post and ask the questions I don't want to ask the mocho guys on my team. I was wondering how fast everyone started out at, I am currently comfortable riding about 14MPH and I hope with time to increase that, I am training for a MS150 in 11 weeks and in addition to weekend rides I am taking a spinning class at our bike shop two nights a week.

Also, where should my goal cadence be at? I was averaging 80 at my class last night going around 14 - 16mph. I could not get over 97 durring those power bursts. The instructor was like "ok lets get up to 110!" No way! Still learning and any advise is always appreciated.

Thanks everyone!!! Heather
