Hello All, Refugee Here.
Hello all. My name is Tom and I hail from Oakland, CA but I am currently living in Boise, ID (hence the term "refugee"). I have been cycling in some fashion for decades. Whether commuting as a child, working as a messenger in San Francisco/Oakland or taking of on spontaneous solo touring trips across the country, I have always straddled two wheels in some fashion. I am looking forward to meeting you all and comparing notes!

You're welcome to come slinking back to the bay area whenever you've had enough of that winter nonsense.
