Good afternoon,
Decided to make it legit with an introduction.Been a forum member since '09 and have enjoyed the immensity of knowledge available, mainly in Bicycle Mechanics. Rode '87 Cannondale SR 500 for decades as well a late '70's Raleigh steel bike. Now own a '07 Mark Nobillette Rivendell Road custom as well as a '08 to me (c. 1980?) SS Nishiki Royal (Circle A Cycles refurb: paint/top tube replacement). Also in stable '88 Cannondale SR 500(spouse's OEM bike) redone as 650B . Hope's this is what an intro is .

I was out to OBX a few weeks ago, brought my beater bike to get some miles in up and down highway 12 around Kill Devil hills. Question is- if you ride there a lot, how do you keep the blasted sand from getting into everything on your bike? I only rode on pavement, sand go into everything. Beautiful place.

Welcome. My wife and I love Roanoke Island. We always thought we would end up living in Manteo at some point but didn’t make it.
