Howdy folks,

Been looking for a good 'net based cycling community for a while. I recently moved to pan-flat Dayton, Ohio and I'm sorely missing the rolling countryside of Lehigh Valley, PA. I've done a bit of racing on the track out there, but I primarily stick to the road these days.

Anyway, glad to be here!

Hello Andrew, if Dayton wasn't flat they wouldn't have that nice big air base there, right? But I sure would not trade you flat-as-a-pancake terrain for what I have here in Puget Sound!

What are you riding now?

Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions :) !

Andrew you haven't seen flat Ohio unless you have been about 115 miles north of Dayton. I live in the Great Black Swamp area of the Glacial Plains. Here it is Teflon pan, laser level flat :)

Talk about flat, this area has no roll, no rise, no fall unless it is a tiny bit carved by a river. Most altitude gain you can get is a highway or railroad overpass. We are home to what is supposed to be the flattest century in the country.

Come on up sometime, we'll treat you to a down winder!
