New cyclist in Southern California
Hi I'm a 55 year old female with cerebral palsy. I have a dream to one day ride a century (I know crazy). I went to a bike store and tried the Cannondale couldn't get the hang of it due to Cerebral palsy. So they suggested a Giant Sedona DX. I tried it and actually could ride it. Surprise!! So I have one on order I just hope this girl with cerebral palsy can fulfill a dream of riding a century. The bike store seemed positive that I could. I'm an ultra runner the longest I have run was 62 miles. Slowly but I did it.
Hopefully I can get some encouragement here as I begin my journey towards riding a century.

Welcome to Bike Forums. If you can run 62 miles, 100 Cycling miles is doable.
Good luck!
