Hey there! I'm 24, live in the Ottawa Valley (grew up in Toronto), Ontario, Canada. I'm a retired Triathlete, turned Roadie. After two IM'ing, I dust didn't want to run or swim anymore. I've been working in bike shops since 1995, and am currently working on my Architecture Degree.
Husband and I have a deal; when I start winning stuff, he gets to go off road driving full time  (His club buddies joke about breaking other competitors knees..of course, they wouldn't) |

Re: Re: Where are you from,what do you do?
hi
name is francesco .from milan italy but lived in costa rica for the last 10 yrs .goin to be 38 in december.love horses too.manage a little training facility animal clinic in san jose` costa rica.pretty much ride the same trails on horseback that i ride my superlight on.really gave me a good idea of the horse perspective of endurance racing.started biking about three months ago to get my mind off the ending of my lousy marriage and got addicted right away.maybe it is because of my not having a life but i ve got to ride a couple of hours a day,also ride two horses a day though.but it is differentthere s a lot of finesse precision and skill in riding horses but it is a body that is other than yours no matter what.a bike is like a totally neutaral extension and i m not only talkin physical exercise |

Hey
 Terry from New Zealand. I work for a promotions group doing graphic design and web building and any other crappy jobs they can think up. Love cycling especially building and riding my own bikes, the latest creation is a swb recumbent which has very quickly become my all time favourite bike.

hello
I have not read ALL of the posts yet, but it is very cool getting to know all of you a little bit. I am an 18 year old guy from Houston, Texas in the US.
I have always loved bikes and always had a mountain bike as a kid, but now I am saving up for my road bike...I have almost enough but as soon as I get a new job I will be buying it will hopefully be in a couple of weeks. I would love any training tips (which I think I can get in a different thread ), but I am hopefully going to just train and do it for fun/charity/race. I have seen a lot of boards, and I really have to say that this is definatly the best cycling board hands down! Nice to meet all of you, Kyle |

While living in British Columbia, Canada for a spell. I was able to train 567 straight days outside. It was great.
Texas sounds like a great place to ride. I enjoy the extreme heat. But never rode Texas heat. So that might be totally different. You are lucky that your winters are good for riding..... Memph

I'm from Los Angeles, CA, US--I just bought a mountain bike this last weekend and hope to become reacclimated to riding---I used to bicycle race about 25-26 years ago, but I really have not been on any bicycle for over 17 years!! I don't know why, but I suddenly got the urge to ride again---beside my new mountain bike, I think I will have my old Gios-Torino racing bike overhauled and try to put some miles back on it!!!

I thought not being on my bike for 5 years after many years of racing was bad. You have me totally beat. Congrats on getting back on a bike...... Memph

Envy all you ppl that live in warm weather. Nearly impossible to train when I have to share the roads with dogsleds. Plus it is tricky to fit my bike into my igloo....
