I did it!

I first want to say thank you to all of you in the biking community for welcoming this "newbie"! Everyone has been so encouraging and so helpful. It doesn't matter what shape, size or experience. What kind of bike, nice or not as long as you get on it and ride. That is the message that I have received during my time preparing for the "Bike to Work Week". I'm in my 40's, an empty nester and I started preparing riding my bike with my spinning class. Keep in mind I haven't been on a bike since I was in 5th or 6th grade! Starting loosing weight - woohoo! Decided this is the thing for me. I live on the South Hill so I was great going down the hill, not so good going up. But the point is, I did it and I'm trying! I have more to learn and am willing to put the work into it. I'm just happy with myself that I'm in my 40's and can do it! Thank you all for being so supportive!
