Title: Group Supporter
Started on the Mountain Bike side, but got my 1st road bike July 3rd! I'd been enjoying the American River bike trail, but enviously watching all the speedy road bikes just pass me by. Fast is good!
Cross over from Mountain side, found that from my Hot Air Ballooning Meetup group.
I'm interested in advancing my riding, specifically climbing. There's some rides next year that I'm thinking more and more about!
2009 is a fittness year for me. Biking is a large part of that! I want to train for & complete all 5 passes on the Death Ride 2010.
When I joined I had beginner here. I've never seen a description of levels, or a class/test like on the mountain side. If I haven't reached intermediate level at this point, I think I'm close.
OK! First road bike ride 7/3/09, 35 miles on my new Giant Defy. First Century, 100 miles, 5200 ft elevation, 8/22/09, taking me to 1400 miles in 7 weeks riding.
This is THE place to be for area road bike enthusiasts!

"Guess I have a couple more miles in these legs this week. It's all flat, right?"
"You guys are the super studs! I could use the miles, but just can't bring myself to travel wet trails. Hope you have a good ride."
"Hi Tracy! Welcome to the neat and tidy Paved Side! :D You'll find just as fun and helpful riders here as that dark side you're coming from!"
"Rain status? W.Pond for me, leaving 9:30."
"In for now. Most likely from W.Pond, leaving at 9:30"
"Well, that's why I missed everyone! I got back to Pond at 5 from my ride! You all didn't start till 5:30! Sounds like you had fun though! Sorry I missed you Jeannette!"
"Pond hours are now 6AM to 7:30PM. But the extended hour may still make it a close race to be out on time."
