I am one of the newbie amateur bicycling people. But today I went on a local trail and had so much fun. I usually stick with a cruiser and this time I braved it with the hybrid and experimented with speeds. It was glorious to feel like it finally "clicked" for me! I also went much further than last time I was on the same trails, and felt more confident. I surprised my husband by catching up with him on a trail I did not venture onto last time we were there. Overall just a very fun day for me!

Greetings, I'm back!! Make that GLAD TO BE BACK. I see many familiar faces posting, along with many new ones. Thanks Cricket for keeping it going.
My December hip replacement went well. So, yesterday I rode 7 miles, and 7 more today. My "plan" was to take it easy for 4-8 weeks. Forget that! I'm going to go at least an hour effective immediately. I still don't think I'll ride much the next few weeks due to the rain so I wont be overdoing it.
I log outside miles [all on a road bike]. I don't have any mileage goal. My goal is to be safe!

After six months back on my '75 Raleigh Super Course (which was showing it's age, just like me), I finally invested in a new bike. Missed the first week and half of February out of town, but since then I've put 223 miles on my new CAAD10 105. I've got at least one more ride in me this month so I will hopefully be able to hit 250 for the month.

I'm just soloing it close to home, but I was able to increase my avg speed over an hour+ ride from 18 to 20 mph with the CAAD10. The 105 shifters are a dream compared to my down tube shifters. Wow. Definitely loving the new bike.

As always, I'm blown away by the people in this forum. Talk about inspiring. Keep on riding.
