I'm 49 years young and been riding since I ws a kid...started on a stingray with a banana seat and later upgraded to a 3 speed English racer! Eventually found myself on a Harley. Sold that beast in 2002 when my wife became pregnant with our first kid (you do the math). Started riding again 4 years ago with a Specialized Expedition Elite hybrid -- figured I'd never want to go too fast and just wanted to get some excercise! Well, caught the bug and upgraded last year to a Giant OCR2 road bike. I get out 2-3 mornings a week at 6:00 AM for a 15 mile ride in Prospect Park (a great 3.2 mile loop with hills and straights) and then get home before the kids (have another one now) wake up. On Sundays, I get out for a longer ride. I look forward to learning from this forum and possibly meeting some new friends :)
