Howdy Y'all,
I'm 21, live in Brisbane Australia and am new to the cycling culture... purchased myself a 2004 Lemond Reno 2 weeks ago.
I am already loving commuting on the ol' gal, a lot less stressful (over driving). last week clocked up 130k's.
I would like to get into proffesional cycling, we will see how it all pans out.
I am storeman and network admin.

I am a 44 yo American Investigator that will have 5900 miles this year. Took up cycling after running killed my back. Ride a Lemond Maillot Juane I just bought (2003) model. Wonderfully smooth steel. Converted my trusty Raleigh 600 to a time trial/indoor bike. I try to ride at least 5 times a week for 120+ total miles. We have a citizen cycling series here which enables even the amatuer racer to have and achieve goals.
Hello all, this is my first post. Im in the U.K. on the south coast,and I work as a welder and fabricator. Im married with a little one on the way and have several bikes, my Raleigh is the one that takes the brunt of the commuting which is around 80-100 miles a week which is all I do in the winter really, 200 miles a week in better weather my other bikes are:
Daccordi 50th anniversary(1987)
H.Bates B.A.R.(1949)
Carlton Corsair tourer(1980)
Don Farrell s/s(1950s)
Specialized Allez(2000)
Im 37 and have been riding since I was 12 thanks to my Uncle who took an interest.

Gday,
I'm 35. Live in Brisbane Australia. Train with Nick Formosa's squad but belong to The Riders Club. Undecided about joining Ffast this year... Maybe if Nicks' thing gets going - but do they need more gumbies? Definitiely into TRCs MTB activities & I'll race the sunshine series with them irrespective of road club affiliations.
(We have a schism in Aust. We have the MTBA for most mountain bike races & Cycling Australia for road. Rapproachment is so close yet so far away).
Any way, I've just posted my new frame picture on the 'show us yours' thread.
I try to do about 350kms per week. Racing vet category this year.
Tony Melcer is my coach & I love his work. Pain - compulsory. Suffering - optional
I work at Southbank & my favourite ride is the river loop (NOT!) really its Brookfield.
Happy new year!

I am from Pueblo Colorado, 46 years old and I ride my Mountain Bike in the prairies, gulleys and bluffs that surround the city. I run into a rattle snake now and then, no problems as of yet, PTL.
Summer time it is great to ride trails in the Colorado Rockies. I have been a bike enthusiast for many years, however the past two years I have really become addicted again.

The Argus is a South African Cycling Event.
It is held annually in March in Cape Town. It has the distinct honor if being the biggest Timed Cycling Race in the World.
This year they stopped after 35 000 Cyclists entered.....All 35 000 tickets were sold in 4 days.
Last year the route went over the notorious "Ou Kaapse Weg", but this year it is back on the old route which we just nicknamed "Chappies", short for Chapmans Peak.
The route is either 104km or 109km depending on which route is taken.
The scenery is breathtaking and the vibe is awesome. If you have the time and money, I would def. recommend this ride for all cyclists to do at least once in their lifetime. It is a great experience.
