Hi everyone -

I'm new to the forum, but not to cycling. Been riding as long as I can remember (since my first toddler tricycle?). I'm 38, and live in Western Massachusetts.

My current main ride is a 2009 Trek 7.3FX....love this bike. It replaced a 25 year old Japanese road bike that would have needed some major work this year, and I decided not to put any more $$$ into such an old bike. I put about 100 miles a week on my 7.3, usually one 40+ mile ride on the weekend and a few shorter (15-20 mile) rides during the week after work.

Eventually, I plan get a new road bike for my longer rides and events, and make the Trek more of my utility/shorter distance bike. When I do that, I'm thinking I'd add a rack to the back, so I can carry more stuff for local errands, etc.
