Hey There--
I've got a friend who's nuts about this site,so I figured it was time
I get on board! I'm a roadie who hates the wind, but knows it makes me
stronger. Since I live in the Delta area of N.California, the wind is
ever-present part of my training. Throw in Mt. Diablo on occassion and
I;m a happy camper.

Welcome to the Forum! Hope you find as much enjoyment as your friend. May the wind give you lift as often as it gives you force. :)

Hello Orbea J--does this mean you have an Orbea, or are aspiring to have one :D ? You have a lot of neighbours over there in the Bay Area (besides your nutty friend :p ), so perhaps you could wander over there one day and say hello to the rest of the Northern California crowd.

Welcome to BF!

I hear you regarding the wind. You just have to keep riding/fighting the wind and just like with climbing, you just get better at it. Welcome to the BF, Orbea!

One, regarding locale: eastern CC. A'och, if the truth be told.
Two, regarding my beloved Spanish steed: I ride a four-yr old Orbea
Race Dama, tho I lust after the new Orbeas. Why have children if you
can ride an Orbea? ;)
