GLC, ya beat me to it! I was just noticing that we shared the same state (although how they can sing a song about the "Old North State" with, oh, almost 40 others further north is beyond me... ). Anyway, I'm also in the center of the state, little town called Aberdeen (it staddles US1, about 60 miles south of Raleigh). The residents/denizens of Aberdeen rather like our little town...the rich folks right next door in Pinehurst probably consider Aberdeen to be 'the slums'. Fie on them!

Anyway, I live in LA (as in Lower Aberdeen), the historic part of town.

I'd love to ride with somebody else (with the understanding I'm relatively new to biking). At a guess I'd say we're a couple of hours apart. Is that too far?

Oh, there's a photo of me in my new bike gear on another thread...Red's First Ride in 10 Friggen Years.

Take care,
Lara
