Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm originally from Pennsulvania but I've lived all over (PA, OH, VA, KY, TX, NM, MD and now here). I've been here for about eight years, but DH was into hiking and such, so I haven't been riding as much as I'd like to. I finally broke down and bought a new bike, and I don't want to get off of it!!

I'd love to do a ride with TE. This week, my company picnic is in Santa Cruz, so a group of us are riding over the mountain into Santa Cruz for the picnic, which will be fun (yes, I work for a company that majorly supports cyclists - we even have cycling uniforms and such - it's pretty cool). But anything after that, I'm up for!
