Hello. I just started the hobby of road biking about 3 weeks ago, but I am already addicted. I started riding to get in shape and lose some weight. 14 years as a desk jockey has caused me to fall apart physically. I truly was not expecting to actually have fun, but I have been pleasantly surprised and find that I cannot wait for the evenings to hop on the bike and head out for a new destination. This forum appears to have a wealth of knowledge so I look forward to hanging out here to grow my knowledge and hopefully shrink my waistline.
