I'm from Southern Oregon and ride for fitness and FUN! It feels great to go up the 15 mile climb 10 min faster this year than last despite my 56 year old body!
Working as a Chiropractor for 27 years! Got a lot of physiology training but the new exercise physiology training techniques have outstripped my meager brain. Anyone here good at exercise physiology?
Riding 75 miles a week on a Mercier with Campy Mirage for 2 years and NOW I'm wiiting on a new custom Seven.

Geetings from New Zealand. A special thanks to those who contributed to recumbent plans, this I found to be extremely helpfull considering the last time I built a recumbent was 30 years ago. At that time there was next to nothing avilable except the odd photo in the library. My interests include valve audio design, classical music & opera, orchids and of course my ancient recumbent.

Hi Firebug

I am from Richmond a small town near Nelson at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Here we have clean air and high sunshine hours.
I design and custom build high end audio systems using valves and 2004 technology. These are very expensive and are purchased mainly by audiophiles that have a dedicated room for listening. I also restore and repair valve radios from the 1920's on, for the public and Antique shops. This means quite alot of sitting down so a ride on a recumbent from time to time is a welcome relief and good exercise since I am close to retirement.
Hope that answers your question
Athol

Im from Ireland. im 18 and hopefully turning pro next season... i train every morning at the gym in the winter.. now that is. At this time of year I'm doing lots of base miles, sometimes out on the bike for 5 hours. I'm following a heartrate based programme, and to stay in hr zone L2 I'm generally between 53x21 and 53x15, cadence 80-90. with longer endurance rides at the weekend with a higher cadence.

Nothing special really... any one have any tips or hints... i love talking to people

I'm from Central PA and will retire next month, and I just bought a Trek 7200 hybrid. A friend convinced me to join a spinning class. Now I'm hooked, but good.

It's nice to hear from riders in other countrys. I live in the U.S. It would be great to see some photos of your rides. You can do a ride report (photos) and post them at this site. http://forums.roadbikereview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 Everyone would love to see them. We have one guy post pics of his rides in China.

to do their own stages.

during weekdays chances are I will solo train

unless I meet with some one on the road.

I ride a Gios Chromo for the flats and my Trek Composite

for the hills.

I weigh 63Kg and 5'7feet tall.

I have been riding since 1985.

thats about it.
