Well, not St. Louis, exactly, but close: the western suburbs (O'Fallon).

I'm getting serious about riding again after being away from it for several years. In the past, I did quite a bit of road biking then bought a mountain bike and got into that for a while. Sold my last road bike about 10 years ago but still have the mountain bike. I'm looking to get myself a new road bike in the next few months and have been learning a lot from these forums, especially the "$700 road bike" thread.

During my hiatus from riding, I found myself becoming middle-aged and fat. I can't do anything about the former but I'm working on fixing the latter, and biking is way more fun that my treadmill.
