Uh Carol, ONLY about 7 miles but I rode? That is great! I know bikers often go many miles at once - have never found a bike seat that said "yes we can ride miles together", plus I live in a very congested area, lots of bike accidents, but I admire those who do. Keep it up! I'll keep plugging away on my treadmill, weights and walking the dog [as fast as I can get her to move!].
