Hi, I'm new to the bike forum. I live in Charlotte, NC. I'm 56 years young and have been riding for about a year after I got hooked on a bike trip through southern Italy last summer. On trails I am riding an old Trek mountain bike that I've had for 15 years but rarely used. I bought a hybrid Trek 7.2 last year after the Italy trip that I use on the road. I'm think of getting a road bike and have just started to research my options. I ride about 100 miles per week and love it.
