Hello
Hello from the gulf coast of Florida.
I ride and run. Occasionally a 10k, last year a half marathon. Would do triathlons, but swimming has been a hurdle. I cycle to work occasionally. Not a morning person or it would be daily.
I have a Trek 1.2, a Trek Domane 4.0, a Trek Xcaliber 7 and a Bontrager BMX bike. My favorite brand is of course Cannondale, but mostly because they made a motorcycle.
I ride mostly the Pinellas Trail, but occasionally with the St Pete Bicycle club and to work. Not a bicycle snob. A mechanical engineer and aware that component weight is not the main factor keeping my average speed low.

Welcome to the forums!? Do you enjoy the Trek 1.2? I was thinking of buying the 1.1 but am torn between many bikes! Enjoy the forums!

Welcome to Bike Forums from the west central Florida. Stop by the Southeast Regional subforum and say hello to the locals.

I used to live in Tampa when I was a kid.
We'd cross over the bridge to get to the beaches.

Thanks for the welcomes.
I like the trek 1.2 a lot. I'm actually slightly faster on it than on the domane. Probably tires and riding position. I think the difference to the 1.1 is carbon forks. It's been a decent machine for several thousand miles.
Just across the bay from Tampa. Great area for riding. Tourists and seniors keep it interesting.
