Hi All, a friend of mine from town told me about this website. Looks like it is full of great info....

I am real bummed out at the moment because I just purchased a new bike and we are going to get a lot of snow over the next few days and probably won't be able to try it out. I was thinking if I move the couch in the living room I can do donuts around it until I get ill!!!!!

I just stepped up from riding a Jamis Quest road bike (which I really liked) to a Moots Vamoots with all Dura Ace equipment. The bike looks like I should hang it on the wall in the house as a decoration instead of riding it. The frame is a work of art.

I live at almost 7,000 feet so the name of the game around here is hills!!!! My choices are limited to either up or down, not much is flat..... My favorite ride is going around Lake Tahoe (74 miles) on a cool Saturday morning.

Thanks for reading....Snowblower

Hey welcome Snowblower! You are in a fantastic area to ride! I have yet to do any rides up there, but I have been wanting to. I do fear the lack of air though. You must be able to hammer like crazy when you come down to sea level!
