Hey everyone, I'm from Raleigh NC, but I'm in Houston TX for the summer doing an internship. I just started road biking about 1 month ago, but I have been commuting to school several miles from my house on my mountain bike along w/weekend trail rides for about 7 or 8 months. I came to texas with the intention of buying a road bike and shipping it back at the end of the summer, and I ended up getting a 2005 Cannondale R500 triple. The only thing I have added aftermarket has been a set of aero bars and a second water bottle cage...whoopee!. My mountain bike is a 2005 Raleigh M50 DX. I have had that for about 3 or 4 months; had a really crappy huffy alumina before that. Since I got the Raleigh (yes, I live in Raleigh and ride a Raleigh!) I have really gotten into biking for fitness, and had done so even more since I got my road bike. I would eventually like to do a triathlon, but for now I am focusing on road biking. Anyways, I have been reading the bikeforums.net archives for about a month and finally decided to join. I hope I can contribute some to this great community. Thanks!
