I live in Puyallup, WA. I spent seven years as a bike messenger in Seattle, all riding pimped out rigid MTBs with slicks. Since '03 I have been doing a lot of off road riding, freeriding and downhilling. This year's Tour has got me interested in road riding...

Hi

I'm Sarah, a bit of a late starter in the biking world - buying my first mountain bike @24yo from Brick Lane, London in '90, killing it and getting a gorgeous Marin only months later. I've cycled toured in Europe and Asia and have since returned home to New Zealand and created two little bikers who mountain bike and BMX race. I've bought a Haro Cruiser so I can keep up and stop telling them to pedal harder since I now know how hard it is I have a Kona too and have kept my old KHS for trundling with the kids to school.

Hi all!

I'm 27 and from Kent in south east England (though i'm from London originally) and i'm a production manager for a printing company.

I've been a keen cyclist for many years but I recently bought a new Trek Pilot 1.2 road bike. For five years i've been riding a hybrid after having my road bike stolen and needing a more comfortable bike for commuting on our dodgy roads! It's really reinvigorated my interest in riding and I do 10-20 mile on any evening I have free and try to do 30-50 miles at the weekends.

Unfortunately the rest of my time is wasted on my unhealthy passion for working ridiculous hours and drinking too much!

 

[davidrosso]

Hello, I live in Columbus OH (Go Bucks!), my wife and I have recently started riding bikes on some of the local multi-use paths, we are just beginners, we are both riding mountain bikes for now and usually ride 20miles when we go out. We rode in a 30mile event for the American Diabetes Association back in June.

I am a fire alarm service technician with SimplexGrinnell and my wife works for a medical billing company.

You are to be applauded for being concerned about staying fit. Fitness is a lifetime commitment just like raising your children. If they are old enough encourage them to ride with you, then all you have to do is to find a safe place to ride and keep an eye on them. I know how hard it is to find the time to ride, I do both but sometimes I find myslef doing it late at night and sometimes not at all and then I feel guilty. Try running to crosstrain too. Cycing uses a whole different set of muscles than running. I used to bike hard every day. I went running with a friend and could not keep up even though I was much more devout in my fitness program. He only ran on weekends and I cycled 60 to 80 miles a week. I now run with my dog but I haven't figured out how to get him to stay on my bike.... Hang in there and don't quit.

My husband is a runner. I used to run - - about ten years ago -- I can't believe it's been that long. I ran trails and loved it. At one point I started getting sick everytime I ran and found out I was pregnant with my third - - a little girl who is now nine. I sort of retired and just never started back up. My husband and I want to train for some long rides with other cyclists. I would love to get the kids involved too. That would make some great memories I'm sure. Thanks for your encouragement. I will try running again.
