Hey all. I'm in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and I've been riding for five years or so, and getting more serious about it with each year. I was a serious runner for years before I began riding, though unlike many former runners I didn't switch to cycling to because of knee problems or anything like that...rather I married an avid cyclist and took it up at her urging. She probably thinks she created a monster by now.

Mostly road, though I have a hybrid I use on local packed gravel trails like the C&O Canal towpath. My current stable consists of a Specialized Sirrus Sport, a Klein Aura, and an Eddy Merckx Team SC. Yes, I do have something of a collector's mentality.

I'm also learning more about working on bikes. One of my goals is to ride the length of Skyline Drive in a day...maybe this summer.

Oh, and 54, so I guess I can post to the 50+ forum whenever I want.

Hello dcvelo, I guess you don't need to be shown anywhere, so just enjoy yourself! Oh, but we do expect photos of any Classic & Vintage bikes...:D .

Welcome to BF!
