Greetings from Davis
Hi all,
My name is Robert and I live in Davis, CA. I am a sociology professor at Saint Mary's College of California. I'm new to bicycling -- having bought my first road bike a week ago -- but I love it already. I got a 2004 Giant OCR1 and I've put 125 miles on it in the first 6 days. Davis is a great place for some nice rides. I went on a 42 mile ride the other day and I think I pushed myself a little too far. Since then I've been doing about 20 mile rides and it feels good. I'm looking forward to the Konochti challenge in early October (I'll do the 30 mile ride) and the Foxy's Fall classic in Davis in mid October (I hope to be ready to do the metric century).
I look forward to learning a lot from all of you,
best,
Robert

Hello Robert--the first thing to remember is not to push too hard in the California heat. Davis is a GREAT place to cycle though.
I suspect that you will do just fine in the Konocti Challenge!
