Hi all! My friends Brandy & Tiffinie told me about this place and I'm so happy they did. My name is Kori, I'm 31, have two sons and live in Northern California. I just recently started riding since my 4 and 6 year old boys are both riding without training wheels now and I was having trouble keeping up on foot. I work 2 days a week at a fire department about 14 miles away, drive a gas guzzling pickup with the worst gas prices ever and could definitely use the exercise. There's an awesome bike trail for about 2/3 of ride. So I rode the 14 miles to work today for the first time on my mountain bike to prove to my husband (and myself) that I could do it and I enjoyed it. The firefighters joked that they were going to get out the defibrillator for me when I arrived bright red and out of breath. LOL Now I'm off to buy a road bike this week.

I also could stand to lose about 25 pounds so I'm hoping riding will get me started on a healthier more active lifestyle. Riding to work should help me lay off the cookies, pastries and all the fattening foods the guys cook at the fire station. I don't want to eat all the calories I just burned and be left with nothing to show for my ride but sore muscles.

I can't wait to check out the rest of the site. It's nice to meet you all.
