introduction
Hi everyone,
My name is Bill Wilson and I am a 69 yr old recreational rider who re-entered riding about 5 years ago. I am riding my original 10 speed which is 34 years old and in excellent condition. My riding is mostly on trails. As I live north of Baltimore, MD., my favorite stomping grounds is the NCR trail aka the Torre Brown trail, although I do venture elsewhere. My most recent experience was in the Rocky River Preserve outside of Cleveland Ohio. I had planned to do the Cayahoga rail and canal towpath in the National park, but the weather this past week was not conducive to riding. i'll get to that hopefully the next time I head west to see the grandkids.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy the ride. I like the idea that you are still getting good use of a faithful bike. On my ride last weekend I was impressed with the number of classics on the trail. Let me know if your journeys west get through Southern NV.

Welcome. Your age exempts you from the normal probationary period, I believe!
