Hello from the state of Minnesota. I just got into biking over the summer, and the obsession has grown to a new level. I try to bike when I can, but being a high school student in honers classes takes away biking time. For my first serious season this year I did 320 miles. I ride a 2012 specialized sirrus base model. I was riding a Walmart mountain bike before that. I have added shiamano clip less bike pedals. Hopefully I will find good tips on the forum
