Newbie introduction and questions.
Hi, I'm Sandra from Mississippi. I discovered your site and forum about a week ago. My husband (of 31 years next week!) and I bought bikes about 6 years ago. We have a wonderful Trace to ride on. It is 41 miles of old railroad that was converted to a biking trail. They are still in the process of extending it further.
We rode for a while and life got in the way. Now we have gotten our bikes back out and are getting serious about our riding and loving every minute of it. We wonder why we ever stopped riding!! I feel like a kid again at heart. I loved biking all my life and remember the good ole days of riding my bike to the neighborhood school, even in elementary school. That was so much FUN!
My first question:
We are in the process of getting all geared up. So far we have had no problems on our rides as far as flat tires, etc. What do you suggest as far as the minimal tools you would not ride without? (Reading the thread about the "first hitchhiking experience" made me want to be more prepared. :p )
I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and have learned so much already. I enjoy messageboarding and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better.
