Let's see...I am now 46 and will be 47 in July.

Used to bike everywhere (principal mode of transportation) on my 10-speed eons (and more eons) ago. Quit riding for many years. Got into mountain biking a few years ago as Bend has lots of trails and single-tracks. I'm now in the process of getting a cyclocross so I can do it all. Am hoping to get into touring as well some day (if I EVER get time away from work long enough). There's a bike club in Bend I am checking into.

Not only do I like biking, it also keeps my legs in shape for winter for alpine skiing as I coach Special Olympics Alpine. Don't think that some of those athletes aren't FAST. I had to buy a ski helmet this past winter as I was afraid I was going to get killed flying down that mountain keeping up with one of the athletes!
