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

Just picked up a bike.

After doing some extensive research, I finally found a bike. I picked up a Raleigh R-600 2002 for $420.00. I'm excited!

Yes sir, I just picked it off of the OC craigslist. I actually live in Yorba Linda, 30mins away from UCI. I'm new to the whole cycling thing, but I wouldn't mind a ride partner.
