Good day to all,

I'm new here, by not to the idea of cycling.
I have started biking back in 1987 on a nice Canadian Tire 6 speed bike, it was called an ATB. the frame broke so I had it welded (HI ten steel) in 1994 came a nice Peugeot MTB(made in Canada). Once more frame broke from riding too hard, perhaps. So I had it welded (Cro-Mo). After that a nice Wheeler which got traded in for a DeVinci (Canadian made:D). Now, no more broken frames. Now I ride a Specialized Sirrus a hybrid and a Cannondale F series HT with Headshok. Love to cycle, be it commuting, MTbing or cycle touring. Cannot wait for my first 100km ride of 2008, hope that March will bring nice weather.

I bid all of you good riding:)

Hey I know that town!

I'll be at the bike show as I'm visiting a good friend that weekend. Was at the show a couple years ago and made the HUGE mistake of going shopping the day before - and only entering the bike show with a paltry $40. Bad me.

I'm also looking for mtb tires - Had my other mtb stolen so I had to scale down on my new mtb purchase this past spring - and I'm not all that pleased with the tires that came with the bike (rockhopper). Looking for a good pair of offroaders (I know the tires I want and I doubt they'll be there, but we'll see) and if there's some studded tires there in my price range - may snatch them too. Sigh, need a new set of roadbike tires too - maybe.

And I definitely want to see if Dirty Girls is there again and has a jersey available.

Oh, I'll be the blond walking around :p
