Hi from Charleston
I'm the guy in my neighborhood who fixes people's bikes in exchange for expenses and beer. I spent 12 months as a full-time mechanic in an LBS (2010-11), did the two-week course at UBI, and I check the forums here quite a bit for things that aren't covered in the usual references. I consider myself an entry-level bike geek.
Always looking for new tricks and ways to cut down on my usual meathead blunders.

Yes please tell us about the local rides. My wife and I are traveling to Charleston for a submarine reunion in late October and we are bringing our bikes and staying at an RV Park. What about a few really good places to eat as well. Charleston or North Charleston. Thanks in advance.
