It is nice to meet you Slowpoke. I am new to the forum so I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself also. I am a married mom to 3 (Oldest at FSU, second about to graduate and head to FSU, and one finishing middle school). I live in central Florida in an area with wonderful deserted roads for biking. My husband began cycling four years ago and I got started last September. I started with a Trek Pilot 5.1 and my dh surprised me with a Madone 5.2 on Valentine's Day. I ride mostly with a fantastic bike group who are super supportive. I rode my first century yesterday. I have already learned so much by reading past posts. There are only 2 other women who ride consistently with the bike group and it is definitely helpful to get information from the ladies here. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
