ADAF Weather forecaster at Travis AFB.. I have to admit it's pretty easy forecasting around here and this place is great for riding. I've ridden on some of the roads where they held the Tour of California. Napa is pretty nice to ride. It's also nice riding up around Lake Berryessa. This place is great!

Wow. Lots of former and current military folk on this board. Thank you all for your service. I'm graduating from nursing school next May, and I'm thinking of joining the Navy. I'm a little worried that I'll have less opportunity for road cycling (is this selfish or what?). On the other hand, since there are only three main Navy hospitals, maybe I wouldn't be moving around too much.

Ohio Air National Guard, prior active duty AF.
Road cycling around Wright Patterson (Dayton, OH) is pretty nice - plenty of paved trails within a half hour or so. Yellow Springs (just east of Dayton) is particularly nice for cycling, rollerblading, and just hanging out. Don't tell them that you're military though - it's a liberal arts college town.
I was stationed on Lackland for a couple years. I didn't have a car, so my bike was my primary means of on base transportation. The riding on Lackland & Medina is pretty good, as long as you're not out during peak traffic hours (immediately before & after normal duty hours).

I've been in Germany for about ten months and started my bank account draining hobby of biking here. So far, so good...I am loving biking and loving Germany, the motorists are super attentive here and very cooperative with bikers. If there are any others interested in a group ride in the Wiesbaden area, just let me know.
