I currently ride a used specialized allez sport with numerous upgraded components. As far as skill level, my usually rides (everyday other day) range about 30-40miles and climb around 3000 feet, at a max grade of 20%. that was in norcal and I'm looking to match that here in socal.
Although I live in torrance, I will be living in Westwood for the school year (I go to UCLA).
I'm looking to meet up with groups in torrance and in the ucla region. PV looks like agreat place to train, and so does the santa monica mtns.
Welcome and salutations, jmtomasz.. jim???? tomas???
I've seen a lot of cyclists (around your age) near MDR wearing the UCLA kits. Not sure if it's a "team" or just a bunch of people who like the jerseys, but might be something to look into.
From Westwood, you will have easy acess to the Santa Monicas. Have fun!
