My name is Lisa and I wanted to say HI!
I am relatively new to cycling on a road bike, I started to ride this spring seriously and decided that charity rides are going to be my passion. I just completed my first big ride (for a fat chick) earlier this month, did 54 miles on a 92 degree day for the Tour De Cure...and I finished! I am doing a metric century next month and hope to be able to finish 100 miles by the end of the summer.
I joined for tips and tricks specific to the road bike because I am much more comfortable getting dirty and jumping over things than I am on my road bike...and there is so much to learn!
I am having a great time buying gear...funny how MTN bikers don't pay as much attention to fashion as the road bikers.

my bike sucks, lol, it's a GMC Denali, a good starter bike...I am looking at better bikes, but I need to make sure that I stick with this before I invest in something better...I am looking at touring bikes, maybe a Trek 520 Originally Posted by IFjane

You were in the same ride that MDHillSlug was in..Gosh you could've met a fellow TE'r and didn't know it! I did the Rochester/Mendon Parks one. It was hot..hot..hot out that day.
