yes, I'm new
 

Hello everyone!

I just bought my first road bike last week. I started training for the Marine Corps Marathon and I was having trouble with my knee. So, I'm using a road bike to replace my training until we can get the problem figured out and then I'll be using is as a supplement to my training.

Anyway, I'm a musician and freelance photographer from the NoVA/DC area.

here's a shot of my bike that I bought used from an employee of my LBS

Training is going well. I think we (well, my chiropractor) got my knee problems squared away so I've mainly been running. I'm running 4 days a week (~30 miles) and riding 2 days a week around the same mileage.

I know a lot of people scoff at chiropractic, but it's been a lifesaver for me. And, if it gets you back on your bike, who cares what other people think!
