Hey everyone,
I just moved to the Salem area from Seattle and started getting into road cycling! I love how flat the city is and riding is a lot more enjoyable here than back in my hilly hometown.
I recently purchased a budget road bike (Schwinn Tourist) and made some upgrades with the help of a used bike part store back in Seattle. I'm kind of regretting going that route... I probably should've purchased a bike with all the components I wanted from the start, but the price was right for what I want/need right now. I'm hoping to become a daily bike commuter (to save some $$ and the planet!) and eventually participate in the 2012 Seattle to Portland ride!
I'm looking forward to connecting with many of you and learning a lot while I'm at it. Thanks for reading!
