Wow, what a great site:)
Just thought to take the time to introduce myself, 30's, live outside Philadelphia, started out a couple years ago deciding to get in a bit of shape while writing my thesis and that blossomed to include running, biking and swimming...yep triathlons (sprints for now but I'm hoping for an international distance this year). I'm way too competitive for my own good but fortunately that's balanced by a lack of talent and limited time. Just means I get to sit back and laugh at myself a lot.
Bikewise, ah... moving that fast on your own and getting to see the scenery--I love it, just not enough hours in the day. Even hills are fun in an odd, "hey I did that and I'm not dead" kind of way- I guess what they call "good pain".
I know almost enough about bikes to be a danger to myself and others... I'll try to remember that if I post ---heck maybe it should be my biline.
I'm out to buy a ride to replace the old 12spd- posted (probably inappropriately-sorry) that story in roadbikes- I'll let you all know how it goes:)
