I'm new. New to the forum, new to Idaho, new. It feels good to say new, since at 41 my bod feels so old. I'm a die hard mountain biker but had my first foray to road biking on a cross country bike ride from San Diego to Philly in the summer of 2003. Now I'm planning a 12,000 mile US Perimeter Tour in the summer of 2006 and am in the middle of building up my ideal touring bike and selling most of my others to make the trip happen. Glad to see there's a place where we can all get together and share info and opinions about biking. Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Live to ride, ride to live.
