Introduction
Hello Everyone:
Allow me to introduce myself. I have been a recreational rider for a little over 10 years now and I decided to to take it up a notch as far as frequency and distance of rides. I just purchased my third bike (since being an adult) yesterday, a Trek 7700FX. I took it out in the cold yesterday for about 7 miles and what a difference from my other bikes, Cannondale C400 (2000) and Trek 820 (1995). It pedals easier and cruises a lot faster and I haven't even tried my shoes yet (the bike has Shimano 520 clipless pedals). I hope to get out again today for a short ride but we got some snow last night so I'm not sure I'm brave enough.
My plan with this new bike is commuting to and from work, which I plan on beginning in a couple of weeks when the weather breaks and I train a little first.
Anyway, I look forward to learning a bunch from this forum. Have a great weekend.
Rick
P.S. I live in Harrison Twp, MI a suburb of Detroit.
