Littlebrownbike - you are doing great! Sounds like you are enjoying your rides and that is the most important thing.

The weather is starting to change here so I am stuck riding my bike on my trainer (in the garage). Tonight I rode for 50 mins. It was so boring but I made the best of it and did some sprints.

Thanks Toonses, 50 minutes is great!! I also have an exercise bike in the house that I can use once the weather is either too wet or too hot to ride here but its soo boring.. I think I love the regular bike because right now the weather is so nice and I love being out riding along the canal and watching turtles swimming around and all that kind of stuff... I asked my husband to get me a basket for my bike for my birthday and I think it would be really nice to pack up a picnic and ride somewhere and just chill out for a while before riding back...
