Bike Forums - Hello all

Hello,my name is Mike and I'm new here.I live in the western part of the state of Maryland.I just decided to seriously get back into biking this year after I realized just how much I missed it from my childhood.I had a cheapo Mongoose from Wal-Mart for a few years,but it had problems,so I decided to get a new Trek 7200 this year.So far I like it,but I still need to get it adjusted to me properly.At 42 years of age,being out on the bike brings back good memories of years gone by.I live close to the C&O Canal,so I do a lot of riding there,as well as The Great Allegany Passage,a newly completed rail trail that connects with the canal to make a 300 plus mile trail.I hope to someday ride the whole thing,but I'll need a bit more training before trying that.I look forward to reading the articles here and maybe getting some tips and insight from other members.When I'm not able to ride,I work as a landscaper and do home improvements.I also enjoy hiking,camping,as well as attending local fairs and festivals and car shows.
