Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

20's and 30's

Hey--

I am a new member, but wanted to try to see who is out there in my age group. I started cycling a year ago, and have seen a wide range of people. I am looking to get to know more people that can be cycling friends and social friends! I am 27, live in Orange County, am off teaching for the summer, looking to try new routes ..

So-- Who is out there?

Perfect timing Kasey! If you're up for a ride on Sunday, we have one going here in Orange County. This is a great group to ride with, I just started cycling in May and I did a ride from Irvine to Solana Beach with them on Saturday and they were all wonderful...well, all except for volmtan, you have to watch out for that one

BTW...I just turned 30 and my friend and I have been doing early morning rides in OC during the week. You're welcome to join us sometime.

Kasey, welcome to the forums. I'd second Brandy's suggestion that you try to join our ride this Sunday. (ride thread) Since you ask, I'm 27, with one year's cycling experience. I'm a grad student in San Diego near UCSD, but I do try to join quite a few of the OC-area rides organized on this forum.

Hi Kasey!

Yes, if you can make it, you should join us on Sunday's ride! I've been riding for just a couple of months now. Have been riding regularly with Brandy in the early AM to avoid the heat!

I'm 26, but I live in Washington DC. It seems like everyone my age who rides lives on the west coast. Is this a photo thread?

Hey Kasey!
I'm 22 and have been riding since I became a messenger a few years ago. I gave that up but started riding and racing out here in hawaii. I'm moving up to Washington in a few day-and if you get a chance to get up there, let me know. If you have that oh so addictive myspace action you can track me down:
https://www.myspace.com/91313071


oh and anyone else can add me as a friend considering I like all of you.....mostly

I'm 24, been cycling for a little over a year and live in the hell hole that is Northern VA. Seeing how we're all posting pics, here's one taken from Aruba on my honeymoon (don't have any of me on my bike)

You've got it all wrong. There are women on internet forums, there are just no women on bikes.

Since this has turned into a picture thread, I guess I'll post mine too. No pictures in gear because as I've mentioned before...I look like a big dork.

Me and my youngest son in Big Sur.

I say go on that group ride. I'm 31. I met two very cool early thirties riders on a group ride early this season and we've been friends ever since. In fact, we just did a brevet populaire together as a sort of three-person team. Group rides are a nice way to make bike friends!

Great to see you on here!

A dating service has been started. The server will never be able to handle this.

I would just like to announce that I am not here to date. Just here to torment anyone who chooses to engage in meaningless conversation with me, not unlike how I torture my husband.

Oh goodness

So I am gone for 4 hours and look what happens! 23 replies.... LOL... And no- the server won't be able to handle this new dating service that has begun...... But- so far the only available females on this service are me.... oh darn, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo upset .. Honestly- this sport needs more young women.

Nah-- but --- I was going to go to vegas this weekend, but have decided to wait until next weekend.. how can I pass up meeting so many great people? So YES!! count me in for Sunday. I will be there with bells on.

Anyone who was on the fence as to whether or not to go??? NOW YOU HAVE TO!!!!
