well, here's another one, are we actually keeping count?
i'm 37 this december
one daughter (13 yrs old)
i'm a software engineer working at a non profit.
live in arlington, va (usa)
i'd classify myself as a recreational rider. i owned a mtn bike for about 10 years, went off road for the first time early last year, and bought my first road bike (since my 10-speed that got stolen when i was 12) this last june.
i trained very well for about 8 weeks, then very poorly for another 8 weeks and rode a century in cape may new jersey early this month. it about killed me, but i had a great seat and great shorts (so my a** was not killing me afterwards--which is what i was told was the worst about long distance).
i am way more interested in racing than i yet believe is possible for someone my age, never having been athletic in my entire life. maybe when i'm 50 i'll be in shape to be racing somewheres.
my road bike is a 2003 specialized allez elite cro-mo (27), and it is a dream. love this bike. my next bike will be a custom frame bike (because i have some fit issues to address).
