Hi ladies,

To me TE has been a godsend, because y'all have been so amazing in sharing your collective wisdom, and so warmly supportive!

I'd like to hear how long you've been cycling?

I started riding when I was relatively old about 9, and didn't have my own bike until about 11. Then I stopped riding until my twenties, when I owned a couple of bikes, but didn't seriously get into it. Tried but didn't. Then last year about October, my DH and son got REALLY into MTB, and a couple of family weekends away, got me started and then HOOKED! So now I ride a Giant CRX1, which I bought knowing that MTB wasn't fully my thing, as I wasn't very good technically (although I'm going this weekend!), and I consider myself first and foremost a roadie.

So I've started this thread hoping to hear how long you've been riding, and a bit about your experiences along the journey.
