While out riding today (22.5 miles in 80mins), I was thinking about this site and the other women who ride and post here....my question is....What kind of riding, and at what pace do you ride it at? I live in a very hilly part of Tennessee where there are elevation gains on every ride, even the short ones. I know I try to push it every time I ride and since there are very few (if any other) females who ride around here, I was just thinking about what other folks do and where I stood in regards to all of ya'll (that's southern speak for all you northerners!). I read where some of you ride 40-50 miles at a time or at amazing paces. I know that here, a 15 mile ride could take an hour, because of the hills. A 50 mile ride would take a major effort and 3 1/2 hours. So, what kind of miles do you ride and at what pace? How old are you? How long have you been riding? What kind of bike do you train on? Any information you could share with me for comparison's sake would be greatly appreciated.
