My first bike was a Christmas present somewhere around age 9. Then I had a Huffy 10-speed when I was in Junior High. I destroyed my knees when I was 14 as a serious ballet dancer (riding horses was also involved). 22 years, 2 knee surgeries and 2 kids later I bought my Trek 7200FX. My DH bought one the same day. That was last summer. I feel possessed by the cycling bug! I love it! And now - I'm searching for my first road bike. EEK! I'm hoping to ride a century and some charity rides next year.

And - I must say that I am so happy to be on the TE forum. Y'all are a fantastic group of women that are unbelievably supportive!
