What SK says is so true. Without TE I wouldnt have met such an amazing bunch of women. When I first joined TE I was a recent arrival to the USA and brand new to cycling. I did all of my cycling alone and knew nothing. Some of the great women here in Northern California encouraged me to try an organized ride and I was hooked. Since then I have met many wonderful women from TE and their partners and spent glorious days cycling with them. Without this open arm welcome from the ladies here I would still be cycling alone 100 percent of the time and my number of friends would be cut in half.Originally Posted by SadieKate
Uh, Trek? Could you re-do those stats on posts per day? Total posts is very indicative of length of TE membership while posts/day is more indicative of what the poor shy lurkers see in the daily conversations. And I ask this not because my name will drop off the list.
And, you lurkers! I encourage you to post because you'll make some fabulous friends. Because I spoke up my circle of friends grew from hubby only to a whole bunch of TE women and their partners. Now, how cool is that?
They have enriched my life and when I eventually leave the USA I will take home many memories of this beautiful country but the ones most dear will be my time cycling with my mates here in the USA.

New friends
I have never been a part of an online forum before. I found TE when I was doing a google search to find someplace to have my VO2 max testing done. I have recently moved and I have new friends here but no riding friends yet and certainly no girl friends that have as bad a gear fettish as I do. I started by lurking and then one day soemone posted on the health forum something I knew a fair bit about, so I made the leap and I registered so I could post a response. I have since learned so much from everyone on this board and I love the posative vibe.
It's been a real plus for me to find people posting with similar interests. Especially since I'm kinda lonely here in my new place of residence. Since I've posted on this board, I've found 2 ladies that live no too far away that I hope to ride with sometime this summer!!
And I found a friend that lives across the world that has invited me to come visit her!!
Moral of the story, don't be shy about posting on TE. Good things happen here!
