Hey Guys,

I am from Palo Alto. I am a high school junior but am a pretty serious rider. I have a Cannondale R1000 w/ ultegra and my sidi ergo carbons which i love.

I ride Old La Honda every weekend and do the short woodside loop (sand hill around alpine road to arastradero) a few times a week.

Just thought i would introduce my self before i started posting.

Matt

Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time.

Letting air out is the least of my tricks - I've got 52 years of enjoying other folks misery under my belt, and 9 years of Catholic School has honed it to razor's ege.

Besides, I enjoy it. :D

You have 2 more years of Catholic school than me....That makes us pretty dead even in the Great book of Scoundrology:thumb:

And if you don't like joking, friendly, fun and all around good folks, stay away from these forums, especially the above mentioned members!

BTW, don't let their ages fool you! They are all sand-baggers!! Sand-baggers I tell you!!
