OK, I'm in.

Joined this forum a couple days ago and this is my 1st post. Glad I found this thread and this forum.
I'm 76 and am just geting back on a bike after at least 40 years away. My girfriend (aka 'domestic partner') just celebrated a birthday so
she could be a member of this thread as well.. We just bought a couple Raleigh 3 speeds - hers is from '72 and mine from '79 I think. New Brooks B66 saddles for each (B66s for her) and I may change out the handle bars on mine to sit much more upright - something with a 9" rise.
There are lots of bike paths in Rhode Island including a very nice 10 miler here in Wakefield so we'll have some nice places to ride besides the roadways.
Sorry, no pics yet.
Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.
Ray.
