hello ppl; just dropping by to say that I enjoyed reading your thread. It actually encouraged me to sign up, so here I am. Just getting back to the old habit of riding, after 22 years hehehe.
Hope to make new friends!
Right now, I have a second hand Specialized Hard Rock mtb, circa late 80s to early 90s that I've updated with some new parts. it's fun.

and I'm planning on getting my "first" road bike (I had a road bike before when I was much younger). Just an entry level roadie that I can ride till I deserve a better one

(of course I already plan to upgrade, but that would only come if I can already ride really well).
Thank God, my wife is very supportive and understanding. hehehe
Ride strong, and God keep you all safe!
