A reintroduction of sorts...
Hey everybody, how are you?
For those of you that don't know me I used to post on the forums quite a bit but got kind of burnt out on it. So after some time off, a horrible season and a couple bad injuries I am trying to make a new return. I've got some recovery time in front of me and I hope that the forums will supply me the motivation they once did so I can find myself back in the saddle sooner then expected.
I am from Flagstaff, Arizona.... and yes it snows here unfortunately. Right now I am a college student, but I am hoping that the end is near so I can move on with my life. I ride only road bikes, and have a new one sitting in the corner just dying to be ridden.
I hope all is well with my all my old friends, and I hope to soon meet many new friends. See ya on the forums.

Welcome back Ba-Dg-Er. 
It's good to see an "old" familiar name.
Sorry you had a bad season.
I guess you mean racing, or was it just a bad riding season?
Got any new bikes that we haven't seen?

I just noticed - what's this "junior member" status and only 5 posts?

Glad to see around again Brandon. Hope your recovery went well.
Now for the big question; Where the hell is Big-Bird!
