Thanks to all for the warm welcome! (For some reason I'm not getting all the notifications of new messages. )

I'm not part of a cycling club due to other interests that keep me from committing to club activities in general, but welcome recommendations of local paths/routes where I would feel fairly safe. I live in a small town that fits the bill for the most part, but it's nice to have other spots to drive to. As an early bird, my best rides tend to be first thing in the morning.

I'd also like to get a handle on some basic bike repair techniques as time goes by: changing tires, adjusting brakes, etc.
