Hi from Wisconsin!

Hi! I just started biking. I did my first 25 mile charity bike ride last Sunday and really enjoyed it. Prior to that, I decided to do it on a whim with a friend (who did the race on a Bubblr bike hahahaha). I'm planning to sign up for a bike ride that is 100 miles over two days in August next!

Looking for advice about a new bike -- I posted in the hybrid thread and would appreciate advice! Thanks

Welcome to Bike Forums. For a 100 mile ride (and everyday riding) you might want a comfortable road bike.

Welcome to the forums! Ya, a road bike would definitely be more comfortable than a hybrid bike.
