Rochester, NY 1971-present
I'ld go back to Saranac Lake in a heartbeat but my bride will have nothing
to do with that. Of course it probably wouldn't be the same as I'm no longer
drinking like a fish and "Cruisin for Chicks" like in the "Old Days".

Let's see...
born in SF in '53
Folks moved me to Pacifica in '55
Moved back to SF with my GF for a couple of years in '74 or '75
Then back to Pacifica
Moved back to the City with my future wife in '81
Then we moved back to Pacifica in '83 and got married.
Still here.
Guess I need to broaden my horizons?

Fort Meade Florida 1975
On the road as a Boilermaker 1975 worked in 6 states and lived in my travel trailer.
Best stop of my life 1976 working in Des Moines Ia. met my wife
1977 - 1983 Home base was Fort Meade Fl. Wife and I travelled much of the country working in Ia, NM, Tx, Il, WV, Oh, Ky, and a few other places.

Worst place, Joliet Ill. in the middle of the winter working outside.
Best Place. We like it right here, but there are many good ones. We have been in every state either working, or travelling in the summer in our camper.

I see MadMaxx and PaulH have had some CT history at some time, at least. Considering the few dozen posts here, that's pretty good! CT is pretty small!
1949-1980 - New Haven, CT - Hatching and first handful of missteps. Connecticut hill climbing! Ahhh, youth!
1980-1988 - Greater London (Finchley, Wimbledon, Muswell Hill, Mill Hill) - Learning to speak English (!) - and much great cycling, both in London environs and western europe. Best time of my life - so far!
1988-1998 - New Haven - Back (somewhat reluctantly) to hometown and further interesting times
1998-2000 - Lawrenceville, NJ - off for further interesting times - great cycling!
2001-2002 - Philadelphia - not a totally charming experience, but great cycling opportunities
2003-Present - New Haven CT - once more! Alas, diminishing opportunities to ride save for commuting - work work work work... sheesh! whatever happened to the four day work week?
