hi everyone !
what a relief to find a place to chat about bikes and being a woman !! my husband found me this site(team estrogen), hes cool
so, i don't want to lurk around, and i'd like to introduce myself.
my name is elizabeth (you can call me Eli for short<pronounced
E LIE>)
i live in southern ontario, canada, near niagara falls
i just bought, or rather my husband bought me a bike last weekend at the toronto bike show.(march 1st) its a giant iguana disc.
last time i was on a bike was 4 years ago and it was a ccm storm..ha ha, yeah i know major change..
i haven't ridden my new bike yet, remember, i said i live in ontario, the land of snow and ice..i believe the weather should be getting better in oh...august !!
really though, they are saying about 2-3 weeks, maybe and i will be able to ride my bike then
i plan on joining a mtb squad this year, to learn the ins and outs, safety and all that other need to know stuff, i'm excited but a little nervous, i don't want to be the worst ridder out there lol
its called the sunflower squad, based in st. catharines (anyone heard of it?)
my husband and his best friend have been riding for 3-4 years, and each year, they get better, faster and return home with more injuries, i think its a competition between the two. my husband (chris) is so excited that i've decided to take up mtbing, we're already planning our summer of travelling and biking choice spots all over ontario.
there are some good riding spots here, according to chris. there's "short hills" where alot of people go to ride its a provincial park and is well maintained.
we also have a beautiful paved trail along the niagara parkway that runs side of the niagara river dividing canada and the states.
if anyone would like some more info regarding my area, please let me know.
feel free to email me personally if you'd like
well..i basically just wanted to say hi !!
and hope i can contribue to the forum.
well, thats about it, hope to get to know you all and i'll be sure to check in regularly
take care !!
