Hello All,
My name is Dave. I'm 36 years old. I live in Dallas, Tx. A friend got me interested in mountain biking about 10 years ago, but after a few years and umpteen wrecks I decided that I'd had enough of that. :rolleyes: Now I ride on the pavement, but not necessarily on the road. I put slicks on my mountain bike and rode that for a long time, but recently I decided to purchase my first road bike. It's a beauty: Tommasini Sintesi steel frame, Ultegra components, Velomax wheels. First ride out, WHAMMO! I allowed a bad actor on the bike path to run me off the trail into a wooden fence. :confused: I took a header into a 6 inch square fence post at 15-20mph. HIAWATHA! And that was my first ride on that path while wearing a helmet! Used that brand new helmet up in one shot! Ainyhoo, I'm just a recreational rider, no hardcore. I work too much, don't ride enough. Never been on any long rides( >30 miles ), never been on a group ride, though I'd like to...I'm here because I enjoy reading your posts and staying up to date on aaall the latest info...If you're still reading up to this point...Bless you.
I think I'm done here,
seeya,
Dave
