ticket to nowheresville
Hi, been on the forums for a while and figured i really should introduce myself. upstate south carolinian here. beautiful spartanburg to be more precise. like road bikin mostly and commute when i can, but i usually get outta work after dark, so i'm too chicken to attempt ridin at nite around here. too many drunken hillbilly cell phone gabbin cagers, i guess. i try to mountain bike occasionally, but i'm not very good at that.
anyway, if anyone in this area wants to get some miles in, just send me a line!
-gary

Tappets,
Keep them drunken hillbillies over in your county willya!
I am right down the road from you (temporarily) in Greenville. I stay out near the I-85 corridor in the Pelham Rd area. I agree riding around here in the evening is a gamble ( I think I would get better odds in Vegas
)

well, you got the coast and you got your neighbor in G'ville, here's a shout from the middle - Northeast Columbia.
Glad to see more from SC on here.
I'm mostly MTB, but hoping to drop enough subtle and not so subtle hints that I'll become a roadie after Christmas.
I'm hoping next summer will bring me my first century, but I'll see how it goes.
Let me know if you're heading this way for any riding - but not on a football Saturday.

Welcome. I live in Gville and work in Spartanburg. Ride in both areas. You should show up for some of the Freewheeler's rides.

I actually rode from N Greenville College to Saluda and back on Sunday morning. I live 5 miles from Paris, so I tend to save it for quickie rides. I will probably show up to it some time in the fall though. I checked out the route that they planned for it, and it is pretty good.
