Sydney Australia
Hi there. I am from Sydney, Australia and have been scouring this site for information. This is my first post (ever..... on any sort of forum). I am about to make the leap from a MTB to a road bike (I am bigger than the average bear
 ) and am busily researching what I need and trying to ensure I get the most "bang for my buck". The site is fantastic, and has provided me with heaps of great pointers on equipment and training. |

Hi again, thanks for the welcome VO2 and Lazy Legs. I am also a bit camera shy, but to give you an idea, 6ft 5in, 120kg, and for those that follow or know of Rugby Union, I make a good second rower (built like a brick sh*t house). I am trying to get more involved in cycling to help me strip down a bit, and suppliment my gym regieme (may not be real smart but I can lift heavy fings).

W'come Veeral. Hey even us cyclist can laugh at ourselves, but it's much more fun laughing at other cyclists, especially those from down under (LOL
). Remember you have to visit the "Mugshot & Pic. of bike" threads and post there!

hey, I'm a newbie here, only a couple posts old.
Where are you from? Western Massachusetts, USA. right nearby the northern appalacian mountains. What do you do? well, there's the obvious, I mountain bike (casually). The best part about where I live is that you cannot bike anywhere without having to ride up a hill. I perfer biking on dirt trails rather than roads, and it definatly has to be in the woods. I am a full-time student at a local community college, so my biking now is limited to weekends and holidays. I only have three more weeks left of school for the semester. ps. Its nice to have people from all over the world on this forum. makes it more interesting.

I am new to this forum like a lot of you....female...24y.o.....Civil Estimator by day ( which means i price the construction of civil structures such as bridges, roads and subdivisions)...i am in the middle of my civil engineering degree. I enjoy casual touring mostly however love getting out with the lads on a weekend for a carve through the forests. I come from a motorcross and enduro back ground so the dirt is my first love....however with touring i stick to the road...it is easier on the equipment. I stick mainly to weekend tours however I about to embark on my first longer tour (1100km) from brisbane to sydney. It is only 4.5 weeks away and can't wait. It will be a solo tour, which makes it all the more challenging.

Gday ...yet another newbie here ...
Duckwah knows me from another forum and have since discovered we both ride and decided to join up. Been riding pushies since I was a kid and raced BMX into my late teens. Been off the bike for a long time until recently when I bought a 21" JAMIS Cross Country and am slowly getting back into it. My buddies and I ride up here at the Ourimbah State Forest XC/DH course .... anyways Cheers SF
