Shere: welcome back home! and welcome to the board. Have you wandered over to BikeJournal.com yet?? it's a free site to log your rides on and we've got a team over there tracking our miles. It's surprising how motivating it can be- I mean - if you're looking for an excuse to Not have the "I'll ride this one every day" be your biggest lie anymore!


SandyGirl: my friend here rode her first every 1/2 century on a MTB with road slicks on it. well....or she started to anyway, then flatted, then had the Specialized guy loan her His custom road bike..........anyway - it's the perfect compromise until you can afford another bike! Or...it's the perfect commuter bike!!
