Hello from K.C.
I've been lurking for a while, but have found the threads very informative. My interest in biking started via triathlons, ever since I have been trying to educate myself on all the ins and outs of the 2 wheeler. I ride a Cannondale R800, and stick mainly to the traffic free roads on the outskirts of the city for training. Occasionally I will enjoy the weekend recreational ride.
I enjoy the freedom of the bike, and look forward to many more miles!
It's great to have a community on line to share with.

I live in Prairie Village - there are some great rides in the area. Unfortunately, work has me out of town most of the week - so I don't get to participate as often as I would like.

Welcome, I live IN K.C. by the stadiums, but have in the past done many group rides on the KS side. This is a pretty good source of information.

Another good short ride, is the Riverfront Heritage Trail that goes through downtown, and down to the river, and over to Richard Berlkey Riverfront Park, out by I-35 and Front Street, by the casino.

Wheat is probably my favorite, but pale ale is pretty tasty also.

The Trolley Trail is a good ride. I live a block from it so I ride it a bunch.
