Hello from Western NC!
New to this forum and looking forward to learning more about cycling and just hanging out with cyclists. My wife and I both ride Giant Sedona “comfy bikes” to stay fit and we just enjoy being outdoors.
My bike is the Sedona DX in XL, and my wife’s bike a few years older is a Sedona standard in large. Hers will be getting a rear Topeak rack and bag this week. Rail trails, forest roads, and small town adventures is our primary riding.

Shelby is my hometown. There is a pretty active group of cyclists down there. Also a rail-trail up the road in Rutherford county I believe, and the Swamp Rabbit Trail, Greenville SC-Travelers Rest area.
