KingTermite from Tampabay
Hi all! Just found this forum.
My name is KingTermite, but you can call me KT!
I got into biking primarily (originally) for weight loss, but I have grown to find it almost a passion at times.

Welcome KT. I know what it's like to need a way to control weight. But, I don't think biking can ever be just "almost a passion." It is an all consuming fire for many. Do you ever ride the Pinellas Trail?

Sometimes about a hundred people at the North Shore pool around the corner from the Vinoy Hotel. There is every manner of levels from the daisy pickers who go about 12-15 mph to the training group that goes over 30. There are also rides of 18,20,22,24 and 26 mph. There is something for everyone.
