Hey everyone,

I thought I would take a few seconds to introduce myself.
My name is Ryan. I recently moved from Mckinney, TX to Loveland, CO and I am loving every minute of it!
I am 23 years old. I have a pitbull named Max, he is a special needs dog( 100% deaf in his right ear and 90% deaf in his left.)
I read a lot of books; too many favorites to list right now but if you'd like I can list them.
I love music, as do most people, I will listen to literally anything. Folk, Jazz, Hip Hop, Metal, Indie, R&B, Soul, Blues etc. You name it i'll listen to it.
I watch a lot of anime, lol. Initial D, Robotech, Evangelion, lots of stuff by Miyazaki.
My little brother works at the Rocky Mountain Cyclery here in downtown Loveland and shortly after I moved up here he got me into cycling.
I bought a Miyata Seven Twelve( Red and White...with a little Pink. lol) but I'm not really sure what year it is. It is fitted with a complete Shimano 105 component setup.
I try to ride fifteen miles everytime I ride and I try to get in two twenty five mile rides a week.

Looking forward to meeting some people in the area or just on this little corner of the interweb!

Hi!!

Welcome to CO from someone NOT 23 (wouldn't that be nice!) - I am 70, 71 in November.

I try and ride about 150 miles per week - (5 or 6 20-40 miles per week), and I live in Parker, south of you a bit. Parker has some great bicycle/mixed use paths that I ride regularly, along with some of the several hundreds of miles of trails in the Denver metro area. I have a Lemond BA, Windsor Leeds, Specialized Rock Hopper, and a Peugeot UO8 vintage bicycle, along with a trainer in the basement that I never use.

My wife (almost 73) rides also on a hybrid and a mtn bike, but not nearly as much as I do.

You said you will listen to anything?

I started an a cappella gospel singing group 5 years ago, and we sing all over the state. We have a CD (15 songs) and some DVD's and pictures on this web page -

or hear just one song

If you ever get down Parker way, look me up. I warn you though, I am the world's slowest rider - a "Smell the Roses" kind of guy!!
