New from Texas
Hi, I am new from Kingwood (just north of Houston), TX. These introductions are always hard so maybe I should tell you about my current training. I am an intermediate rider and have been riding about 2 years. Recently I have lost about 80 pounds riding my bikes and have gotten completely hooked. I am currently training for three rides in September / October 2012: Tour de Tahoe (72 mile Alpine), Ride for the Cure (100 mile), Bike Around the Bay (180 mile).
I have a few bikes now:
Sc
One footnote - I am a diabetic and ride with Diabetes. Shameless plug for the Ride for the Cure.

- ott CR-1 Team Carbon
- Cannondale r400 Aluminum
- Home built Fixie with drop bars and a 46 15 gearing
- Trek FX 7.3
One footnote - I am a diabetic and ride with Diabetes. Shameless plug for the Ride for the Cure.

Welcome aboard. I'm in Ft. Worth, but I get down toward Houston occasionally to visit family there.
