Hi, I am new to the forum and pretty new to biking. (I grew up with a pony, okay? He didn't require training wheels but the maintenance was a killer.)
Almost all of my riding is on the American River Bike Trail with my boyfriend, who would like to be training for a century but instead has to put up with me and my very slow bike. We are doing the 50K version of the Davis Century ride next week. It's neat to see all the Sacramento commuters here -- my boyfriend bike commutes to Sac State and to work, but since my office is only a few blocks from home it takes me longer to put on my helmet and carry the bike downstairs than it does to just walk there.
I have been reading the forum obsessively because I am shopping for my first road bike right now, after spending the last couple of years on a Specialized Crossroads which I have decided I kind of hate. Lots of good information here!
