Actually, I'm a 41 yr old ex teacher from Pasadena, TX. If you've seen the movie Urban Cowboy, that's a story about Pasadena in it's nicer days. I used to ride road bikes and did a few Metric Centuries in my day but haven't been in the saddle for about 6 years since my last bike got stolen.
Now that I'm an ex teacher and have some time on my hands, I've got back into riding. I bought a Giant Cypress DX and I'm riding my creaky bones and monkey butt self about 10-15 miles a day. Given that it's 105 with ridiculous amounts of humidity 24/7, I figure it's like living in a sauna.
Why back in the saddle? I figure it's a chance to get some long missed sun, and a way to work off these 100 lbs I seemed to have found since I quit riding and started teaching.
I'm an avid stamp collector and have a wife that hates cycling as much as stamp collecting. :D When I start working again, a tandem is on my list of things to buy.
