Hey everyone! My name is Erin, Im 21 and I am a mother of a 3 month old princess, and wife-to-be to a wonderful cycling enthusiast! He has riden for a while now, both road and mountain. He prefers road, and I think is starting to get into cyclocross. We live in beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee, and both work at a mortgage company owned by his mother.

I am just starting to get into this sport. It started when we went to the Tour de Georgia. We went to 3 stages including the final stage in Atlanta. I had a blast! I couldnt begin to describe how excited I was to be there and to meet the cyclists!

We went to a local bike shop yesterday and I found my shoes for my future road bike ( yep, this is my first cycling purchase! ). They are Shimano's. They priced for $ 140.00, but were on sale for $ 10.00, because they are such a small size, ( 4.5) Im so thrilled! Now I just need to take the plunge and purchase my bike!

My dream bike would be a LiteSpeed " Bella " only beause my daughters name is Bella, and my fiance rides Litespeeds!

Here are a few pics from The Tour de Georgia!

is it really that dead in here that nobody welcomes anyone? :(

It is obvious that manners around here are lacking in the welcome department. I did, however extend you a welcome in the Bike Cafe.

Thank yuo so much for your warm welcome! I just wanted to find my little niche on the forum, hopefully I will be able to do so! Thanks again ! :)
 
Hey Bella Beatuy I am from Toowoomba, Australia and I noticed that our local boy Nathan O'Neill was in your photos. You are lucky to be able to go to these races and I am envious because of this. I also ride but only in the last 7 months, started with a friend and now you can't keep us off.


Good Luck with the bike and keep riding its addictive.
