Greetings from New Hampshire

Hello-
I'm new to the site. Been mountain biking for a decade or so, tried road biking but have decided that with gravel and potholes, it's just not worth the pain in this state

I'm currently building a recumbent trike- I'll post pictures when I have them. Right now, a photo of a bundle of tubing probably isn't going to excite anyone.

Welcome to the board! I'm in Southern NH - haven't been out on the roads since November, but I've been on The Rollers just about every other day. After it warms up and the roads have been swept, perhaps we'll cross paths eventually!

Bundle of tubing or finished bike, people are always interested in pics of other folks' projects - bring on the pictures!

I was commuting Concord-Manchester for the summer... that's about as far south as I've been though.

I plan to buy a digital camera Thursday night- I'll post pictures then.

Welcome to the forums. I was born in NH but now live in AZ. There's not much riding downtime in the winter here.

NH ain't bad, try riding in Boston. They have potholes that could kill you. You just need good tires and a comfy bike.

Welcome to the forum and hello to the New Englanders. I grew up in southern New Hampshire. I haven't mountain bike in NH since '92... Used to have fun riding on the power lines trails.

cheers,
- tom

I want to greet all the New Englanders too.

I'm from northeastern MA, but now living in Colorado. I didn't get into riding until I moved out west. Someday when I come back to my hometown (Ipswich) to visit I'd like to bring a bike and see all my old favorite places on two wheels.

Welcome to the forum! NH roads are quite nice in fact, most of my regular rides loop around south coastal NH. As someone mentioned above roads can be better mantained than in MA.

BentHammer, more than half of the registered users are scientists, Engineers, and tech types. We (I) would like to see pictures of tubing and parts before assembly. Messages from you of what tubing and why would interet many (me) of us. A picture and list of other parts and stages of the assemble/welding would be good too. I will start watching the Recumbent/framebuilder area for your thread.

I love riding Rye Beach and Hampton Beach.
