Thanks for the welcome RR and Zen.

I've cut back on my riding actually because I am now focusing on training for a marathon. But as soon as that's over I am going to train for a mini sprint triathlon. I did a 35 mile bike tour in April and that was a lot of fun. I am still new to the Vegas biking community so not sure what's coming up as far as bike tours/rides are concerned.

This past Saturday I went to a bike clinic and learned how to change a flat (the rear tire), learned to ride in a pace line and how to draft. I got dropped couple times from the paceline because I couldn't keep up . After practice we went for a 15 mile ride and tried to draft. I was so nervous the entire time, it felt dangerous to me.

This forum is very informative and so far I've gotten a lot of good advice from here. Also I just received couple of summer jerseys that were mentioned here and can't wait to try it out on Saturday, definitely need it in Vegas.
