Jackie, you done good girl!! Keep at it,
whatever distance you are comfortable with. Follow your own instincts and
gut feelings and do your homework. Seems to me that you have done this
with GREAT results. I have been doing this sport for over 30 years.
I am not tired of it yet. I get a kick out of seeing my juniors now in
their 30s raising their own kids! Now they have a clue about what we went
thru when they were young!! 50s no longer interest me, I hurt too damn
much. But I sure can get out and do the shorter rides. And I get
lots of 'good job' from all kinds of competitors. And I also have a good
time speaking my mind. After all, it is my right, I have been around long
enough. Go girl go. LOL Jeanie
