I'm from Caliornia and I ride every day I can (usually 4 days/week) and as far as I can (bout 150-200 miles/week). I am recovering from injuries and have just worked up to century distance but want to train for double centuries and maybe a ride from Seattle WA to San Diego CA.

I am a full time student, future Army officer, EMT on an ambulance and an Epilepsy Monitoring Tech in a Hospital.

I am from Newcastle Australia, I love my track racing but also do road as well.

I raced in the world masters 20km point score in October and managed to finish in the bunch, we did the 20km at a average speed over 50km/h, the race was on from the moment the whistle blew, I even managed to attack once as there was a rider attempting to take a lap and others were not chasing.

I teach classes to "at risk" youth in Mobile AL. Then, on the weekends, we go to the park, ride bikes and cook out. The first week, I told them to bring their own bikes. One boy showed up with a bike. The next week I brought a few of my old bikes. After that things got a little out of hand. Now I have close to 100 bikes. Most of them are just beaters and fixers, but they all have a good time. Most of the bikes were donated or discarded and repaired.

I am from Florida and am presently teaching computer applications at the middle school level. Planning on retiring in a few years, 7 to be exact. I will then be 65. Do a bit of biking to and from work on my OCR2 but may be changing my ways to become bent. Have done a few tours with my golfing buddies around the state. They drive the RV to the golf course as I take off in a planned direction and after they finish they travel the route that I have traveled to find and pick me up to the next golf course.

I am from the Gold Coast, Australia. I used to race a little back in high school, but haven't ridden since the mid 90's. Recently bought a new bike, full CF, DA7800, Kys Elite, etc, and am loving the sport once again.
