Newbie from South Central PA here. I'm in the Harrisburg area, actually a bit north, but we'll call it Harrisburg. I used to do a lot of mountain biking. I just picked up a late '90's Cannondalte R900 w/ carbon fork, Mavic wheels, Ultegra 600 components.
Not quite back cardiovascular wise yet, but getting there. My "local" route is a 6 mile trek with a good long climb that I'm easily into the mid 30's on the way back down.
Anyone interested in riding, shoot me an email!
