I have one bike - a 2007 Specialized Ruby Comp. I changed to a 12-32 rear cassette and long cage derailleur for the hills and now it's perfect! I'm thinking of getting a folding bike so that I can have one when I travel - probably a stock or used Bike Friday or a Xootr Sport. I sold my hybrid and got a Vita, sold the Vita and got the Ruby.

I have been riding for one year. I usually ride 3-4 times a week from between 60-90 miles (when it's not raining). When it's raining, I go to the gym and do water aerobics and weight machines.

Goals for this year:
1. Ride from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara (about 270 miles) with a group.
2. Keep up with intermediate club riders.
3. Get better on hills.
4. Up the average distance of my rides from 20-25 miles to 35-40 miles.
