First solo ride

[DARLady]

Today was a beautiful day in Southwest Ohio, so instead of cleaning house, I decided to take "Icer" for a solo ride. Since buying "Icer", my husband has accompanied me on rides, but today just called for me to make the big step to ride alone. Feeling just a little nervous, I set out going through the neighborhood and then crossed a major street and headed to a restaurant for lunch. What a wonderful feeling, the wind, the bike and me. My goal is to ride to work next spring, and after today I am one step closer to achieving that goal. I am amazed at myself - 3 months ago I couldn't even ride. I think I will have to get cold weather gear as I don't think I can go 4 or 5 months without riding.
