Just signed up. Posted my first thread regarding a 3 day ride from CA coast to AZ border.
I'm 72 this year and still riding, needless to say. Used to do triathlons and duathlons, but quit competing at my wife's urging after I qualified and competed in the Duathlon Worlds in Australia in 1994. Managed an age group 6th place, but was 2nd best on the bike leg. That last run in the rain was a killer!
Anyway, we split our time between NV and CA where all of our kids and grandkids live. Love the fishing, hiking and biking in the Tahoe area of Nevada, so we are here a good bit of the time.

Welcome.
And somehow, after reading your post, "Newbie" just does not sound like a good fit!
