I've been riding for two weeks now, not everyday but at least 3-4 times a week. My shortest ride was 5.2 miles ( longest 8 miles)on a Wal-Mart special, while my hubbie was on a Trek....talk about huffing and puffing....I call myself upgrading to a GMC Denali, better, but I'm feeling I should have spent the extra money. For what? I'm not quite sure....I cringe at spending more than a 1000 for a bike and although the husband has an awesome bike he's only been in the saddle for two months....both Newbies..or a classic case of the blind leading the blind

Thought, recommendations, or just a hello would be awesome.

Anyway, I'm glad there is a forum for women! I'm looking forward to my new challenge in cycling...
