Wut-zup?
Umm.. I'm a Private in the US Army, currently stationed in South Korea enjoying the bone chilling cold and also enjoying my time on my bicycle. Ya see over here Sgt's and below can't have vehicles so for those of us who hate walking. Well we ride our bikes, weither it's hot n' muggy or a good ole' blizzard is blowing. Anyway my history is probably like everyone else's, but I'll continue because I might forget someday, so it'll be good to have this to remember. :rolleyes: Of course I've always had a bike around and much of my childhood was spent riding threw the woods, jumping home made ramps, really I would do anything to be on my bike. So come 6th grade I took up BMX and did that until I dropped out of high school. After that "bump in the road" I started riding a Schwinn Varsity in order to stay in shape and loose some of that keg I had growing just above my belt. After a couple of months riding the Varsity and getting my brother "hooked" I jumped in my VW bus and headed for a cross country trip from Georgia (my home state) to Chicago, IL then to Santa Monica, CA and back again. The whole time keeping my Varsity close by. Anyway I joined the Army for financial reasons and now I'm starting to get back into the bicycling thing and figured it would be best to start with some help. Anyway this looks like a great site with a lot of knowledgeable people and it'll be nice getting to know some of ya'll.
Happy New Year!
