Thanks for the welcome!

I lived and biked in the Chicago suburbs for 6 years, 2004 though 2010. All my roadie friends, down there, would pay big bucks for the road biking we have, up here. In spite of the nasty traffic and aggressive drivers, really an excellent bicycling community, down there. Miss it, sometimes, but, then, the biking community has always been something I really appreciate about biking.
