Howdy folks. Introductions? well, uhm... I'm a mtn. biker turned roadie/mtn. biker. seems roadie was my first choice, when i was quite young (i vaguely remember pretending winning the tour- the rush of wind in my ears was enough to hide the sound of the van full of kids behind me, laughing as i raised my arms in triumph-still scarred from that realization). fell into the bmx/freestyle trap as a yout (yes, i said yout). went to college on a mountain, and as such, was forced to ride a mountain bike. Worked at a camp during the summers where i rode a lot. Once i graduated, my bike (Schwinn Homegrown Full Sus) was shelved for a long time, but now that I'm back in school, i've started riding again, and my homegrown has a baby brother- a Schwinn Super Sport GLX. That's about enough. I'll close by saying now, when i am about to pretend to win le tour, i check to see if anyone's watching before i celebrate.

I am new to this too. How close are you to Greenville? School in the mountains- my first guess would be Appalachian.

Webist, how did you manage to transplant your wife from growing up in Newton to AZ? My husband and I grew up in Lenoir. Will never shop anywhere else for furniture.

Okay, pgreene, now you have me curious. Mars Hill? Lee-McRae? WCU?

Hope you enjoy Greenville while you're here. I have a brother in Winston that has a baby boy on the way. They already have a little girl, who I find it very hard to believe is going to be 4 this Saturday.
