Hey All,

My name is Vex and I wanted to say hello. I am new to cycling trying to determine whether I like road rides or the trails better. I have a Trek Hybrid Bontragner which I purchased on a semi-whim. I had been asking my ex-husband for years to go riding with me and we went once. It was fun but I never touched the bike again until I purchased this light-weight wonder. ( my other bike was a heavy hitter from Wal-mart and believe me I worked my butt off on its one ride) well fast-forward to today I went on a 8 mile ride which was long for me (my 3rd ride) add the heat (93-100 degrees) and it was a wonderfully tortuous ride. I loved it and have decided I need motivation so I am looking for competitions, I am in (North Carolina but will re-locate to WA in 10 months ) something I can train for I am not too worried about winning just yet I just want a personal goal any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks and I look forward to chatting with you all!!
