Salutations from the Bay Area
So yay, another forum I’m bound to become addicted to
I got a lovely PM (and I don’t mean that in a sarcastic way, it was by far the most welcoming message I’ve gotten while joining boards) telling my I can introduce myself here. So, yeah I’m 16 (17 in a month or so I guess) and started riding roughly 50 days ago and hit my first 1000 miles just today. I live in California in the Bay Area, so there are definitely quite a few cyclists around.
And here I am in all of my disheveled glory
Add on about 4 more inches of hair and you have me in my present state. As for my ride, it’s a trek 1000 with Look 3.1 pedals. The Sora shifters can be annoying, but with the limited budget of an unemployed student I'm happy to have the bike at all
Thats about it, I look foward to reading all the topics and whatnot.

Welcome! there are lots of Bay Area Riders (is that the name of a band?) in this Forum, so you should feel right at home!

Yeah, usually Canada road is fun. Then I usually go over to Robert's of Woodside, then down 84 take a right on Alameda and ride until I reach the end of Alpine. Turn around and have a jolly good time coming back. Maybe 40 miles round trip.
