Cheers everyone!
Just joined tonight! I'm a grad student in Chicago. Born and raised in Boston and Cincinnati, I am utterly forlorn for hills, daunted by these prairie winds. I have a Cannondale I ride wherever possible, including across this massive, surprisingly bike-friendly city to school. Hope to start touring more seriously than I have done before -- if I can somehow rearrange the rest of my life to make the time for it. Glad to be here with you all. / JMG
