Hello from PA
Hello from Erie PA. Heading into my second season of road biking. Purchased a Trek 1500 last spring. Logged about 1400 miles last summer and love every one of them. Also competed in my first Duathlon. I fit into the Clydesdale category at 6'1 235, hoping to begin this riding season in the 215 range. Finally registered here after a few weeks of browsing.
Just upgraded to Bontrager Race X Lite Aero wheels on the bike. Havent had a chance to ride them yet but the feel VERY strong and look really COOL compared to the stock select wheels. Now looking to upgrade the saddle. Looking forward to summer, in the meantime will enjoy browsing here.

welcome from southern nj! i've been to Erie 2x, once toured from glassboro area to there (1983), and last by subaru justy (1993). the lake was most memorable, town seemed depressed financially. has it gotten better there? i'm sure your new bike/wheels will get some heads turning!

Definitely still in trouble financially. I am a small business owner here, but luckily all of my customers are in the mid-west and south. Losing manufacturing jobs at an alarming rate. Fast becoming a tourist town.
Still a beautiful place to ride, except during the winter months. We have been very lucky this year so far, only around 45 inches of snow to date. last year we were well over 100 !!!!
