I can't believe I've missed out all this time
Hello there!
24, Male, Odenton MD. My wife bought me a 2007 Tommaso Imola for me as a surprise and well, I just can not believe how fun it is to ride a road bike. I have been riding a mountain bike for a while, but a road bike is just as fun, if not more because of how fast you can go. The other great thing is that I can ride with my wife(she has a 2007 trek 1000 WSD) while she trains for the Ryka Iron Girl. I built and setup my bike yesterday afternoon and took it out for it's maiden run at B&A trail for roughly about 6 miles. It's just amazing. Please forgive my newbie posts for at least a little while, but I'm sure I'll get into the lingo and road bike culture soon.

Hello turbopro, ya gotta start somewhere, sometime. So, don't worry about being a newbie, just remember that riding the bike is more important! Time enough to learn lingo and road culture later. Kudos to your wife, too!

Welcome Turbopro,
There are a lot of good road rides around your area. After you get some milage in on the B&A, you are in for some super times.
