I won't mind riding with you guys--just as long as you realize how outta shape I am right now.
I used to ride a lot in the valley. I would usually start at Botzum trailhead and ride on the towpath up to Rockside road and back, or I'd ride on Riverview road from Botzum to the top of that big hill just past Vaughn/Highland rd and back. I hated that hill. It always beat me, and I'd have to get off to walk halfway up.
I'm starting to change my mind about waiting to ride the road bike. I think I was riding it at 270-275... What difference is 25-30 pounds gonna make?
