My ex bought a road bike, but I have no idea if she still rides or not.

I'm a mentor for the juniors on the team (as in, I get to take em out on rides and give em pointers and encouragement), so I'd like to think that I have a hand in getting them excited about being roadies.

I'm also about 99% sure I'm going to start a cycling club on campus next semester...hopefully hook some people that way, maybe get SUNY NP into the collegiate racing scene.
