Hi from sunny, hot, humid, sweat drenched Florida!
I'll drop something here to say hi to the forum. I'm just now getting into cycling. Over the past year I've lost a lot weight by hitting the elliptical machine and running but a couple months ago I developed some leg pain from running everyday... my brother is an avid cyclist and recommended I give cycling a try. I was riding a old mountain bike for awhile and just purchased my first road bike and I'm loving it so far. I've got a couple 25 mile and 30 mile rides under my belt but hoping to keep pushing further, faster and stronger. This site has been a huge help with all the knowledge being passed around and I never thought I "need" so many accessories besides a bike but my wish list is long and getting longer every time I read the forum.

Welcome to Bike Forums. Check out the Southeast Regional subforum to meet a few locals. Lots of Tampa area folks on here.
