Where are you from,what do you do? - Page 351

hi my name is Alex.new to road cycling. i still mountain bike but started on the road to get better on thr mountains.

Hi, been on a road bike for about 2 years, and have been training with a power meter (powertap) for about 15 months. I target challenging centuries, trying for 1 a month this year, so no racing as of yet. I ride about 1.5 hours each day (targeted training on the KK trainer) and go on a 3.5 ride on the weekend.

I have been reading posts on this forum for sometime and think its a great place to discuss training ideas/plans.

I design green kid tees http://www.peas-on-earth.com/item.ph...category_id=46 (Aspiring Bike Rider) and ride bikes. Check it out!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, and indeed biking itself. I'm currently a student at Johns Hopkins University. I "rediscovered" biking last April, and have been an avid biker ever since!

New here! After a ton of research finally decided to get into cycling. Looking forward to putting some miles on the new set of wheels.

hello from uk

Hello. I'm a ghost from cycling past. I used to cover racing in the United States. I'm publishing online memoirs of my early days as a cycling journalist, back when riders like Armstrong, Hincapie, Julich, Rodriguez, Demet and others were, like me, just getting started. And back when covering cycling was real grassroots, guerrilla journalism.

My memoirs are free for anyone to read. I figured they might be interesting to folks on these newsgroups because, in writing them, I came to understand how cycling saved my soul.

While I haven't posted anything in years, these newsgroups have remained close to my heart. Anytime I felt my ego getting a little too big for my own good, I could do a search (when it was working) and see a rant from years ago ('96, I believe) calling me a 100-percent certified a--hole.

Thanks for keeping me grounded.

Hello there fellow bikers! I'm from Asustralia/ Sydney. I'm not so much of an avid cyclist myself yet and must also admit that i've never ridden a road bike, i'm new to this whole thing. i was a keen mountain biker but there isn't any good tracks around my area so over time lost interest of the whole moutain biking concept and after reading Lance Armstrongs biobraphy, suddenly fell inlove with the road cycling concept.

Hi! i dont know where to start and, after reading your post, am absolutely awestruck. i'm new to this whole thing, and seeing as you "used to work" in the particular field that i'm interested in, thought to myself perhaps you could give me some pointers and tell me some things that could benefit me for future riding? I'd really appreciate it if you'd send me back a post. even if its just to say, "look kid, you dont know anything so stop wasting my time and piss off." cheers! oh yeah, i have no idea of how this site works so my name is phil aka "treaker."

Hi I'm Jerry! I'm from Aurora Ontario,Canada.I drive bus for Toronto transit.I've started cycling and enjoy it very much.I hope to make many friends while learning to be a better cyclist.

Hey hey, I'm a kiwi stranded in London, counting down the days until I go on my first (long distance) tour.
It will be on a recumbent, & I'm plannng to circuit the UK & Ireland. Am I crazy?

Happy cycling everyone.
Cheers
Nathan

what made you choose a recumbent bike? how long do you think it will take you?how many km. do you figure on riding each day? good luck!

thanks man. Well I've painstakingly measured the route, it comes to approximately 11,600kms! I expect I will hardly manage 50kms per day for at least the first week, but once I get fit should easily manage 100+.

As for recumbents, well I was inspired by a book called Off the Rails, and they just sounded perfect in theory. I've since ridden one & had my best experience on a bicycle ever.

Maybe I will cycle my way over to Canada (not literally!)some day!
