Hello from the Sunshine Coast Ausralia
 

Hi BikeForum ! I have pretty much ridden bikes all my life (44 years ) but got realy serious about 2 and a half years ago to get rid of the middle age spread and dropped 12 kgs in no time .I'm in to XC MTB and have a sadistic side that loves climbing in my training rides .I live at the foot of a mountian range and my regular most day ride includes an 8 km climb winding ( grind )up the range .Stangely enough I love it ,coming back down railing the corners at speed is pretty fun too .My current steads are 2013 Specialized Stumpjumper 29r for the trails ,my training bike is a Scott Scale hardtail 29r plus I have a GT Karakoram that I am currently converting into a single speed which is how I come to find this great forum with all the the great advice that I was looking for for this project .I also have a great interest in bike packing and are trying to gear up for some great adventures here in Oz .See you in the threads !

Hey roughred,

Welcome to Bike Forums from a Texas road rider.

No hills here , all flat with winds.

Welcome.

Hey wheels
 

Thanks for the welcome ,being flat around Texas you must like to get in top cog and just crank?

What bike do you ride ?
