Hi all just joined. I"m from Canada in northern Quebec on the eastern hudson bay coast 58.5 parrallel "eastern arctic". I'm about top become a retired music Engineer-producer of Inuit music. Probably end of this year or next. Besides that I work as an Educator at a Re-Integration Centre.
I used to bike when I was youger, but haven't owned a bike in many, many moons. Two days ago I went and bought four "Raleigh mountain bikes" for the family. Mine is the MTB Tomahawk. So far I like it, but want a more comfortable seat for my Rear bones. It's not the best bike in the world, but like it. I've check a lot of manufacturers out on the web and man you can really spend if you want to, but this will do for us. We've only got 2 klm of asphalt from one end of town to the other, atv trails, gravel roads with a lot of pot holes, washboard, tundra etc... and have snow until june.
:D

It's an open home for people "adults" who have psycological problems and we try to re-Integrate them into society.

Thanks for the welcome. I have to admit that I'm anxious to try out the trails out here, as soon as it gets nice. It's still snowing as I"m writing.

I was looking on Google Earth and found an inlet at 58 30' N 78 15' W. Are you near there? Interesting area, hills and plenty of lakes. Are you going to get everyone there into cycling - I dont expect gas is cheap.
