What kind of riding do you like to do? We've had a very busy and chaotic spring so I'm in terrible shape and have barely been on my bike at all....but I'm really looking forward to riding lots, exploring the area, and shedding the stress pounds!!

Cheers!

Ha, I was out riding in that storm. I actually wasn't too bad here, just some rain and thunder. I was a little worried about being out alone with the thunder but oh well... Was wishing I had fenders again - those slicks on my bike create quite a rooster tail front and back...

I am still figuring out what I like. I started riding about 2 1/2 months ago - hadn't ridden much at all since I was in my teens (I'm 46 now). It started as way to do cardio when I let my gym pass lapse but now I'm completely obsessed. I've managed to lose 10 lbs but have 10 more to go. I am in MUCH better shape than I was a few months ago so I guess that's the important thing. Anyway - I have a MTB with semi-slicks and have mostly been riding on the road so I am now in the market for a road bike. I live in the upper Mission so the MTB trails are right out my back door. DH is an avid MTBiker so I imagine I will continue doing that as well. I suck at MTbiking so far though I think I have a need for speed...

I rode to Oyama and back on Saturday - my longest ride ever. Next goal is to Vernon and back. If we went from Orchard Park, it would be about a metric century. Might try next wekeend, or else wait until school is out. (I'm a teacher).

What kind of riding do you do? Where were you before Vernon?

Nice to "meet" you,
