Hi Paul, as a new rider ( and an older one, as well!), I like the idea of "stepping up" into the next level. 25, 50, 75, and then, just maybe...a 100. The jump from 50 to 100 is, in my limited mind, a huge one. Of course, this is an opinion based on a lack of experience, but maybe I speak for all us older...newer, riders. We all have to start somewhere! And steps are a lot less scary than leaps! Just a little info for the database from a small group of riders!
Thanks, Linda (who will try her first 50 this spring!!)
