Hello all, new to the forum and biking in general. I used this forum along with some others for my purchasing decision. I went with a '05 Trek 3700. I rode a Specialized Hardrock, liked it a lot, but wasn't willing to go over the $300 mark just yet. I just picked it up this last Wednesday, have already been out 3 times on it. I live in the high desert area of So Cal., so it's mostly pavement and a little offroad. I'm just getting back into biking for exercise and stress relief. I haven't hit any trails yet, waiting to build up my stamina before I get too crazy. Anyone have any opinions on the Hardrock vs. the Trek. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm Jason from Newfoundland Canada...I am an Engineer for an oil company. I do triathlons, mostly Ironman distance. I usually ride 4 to 5 times per week...right now it's fall where I live so that means short days, cold temperatures and lots of rain so I've been riding the Computrainer for the last 2 weeks...I'm looking forward to a solid winter of base building so I can have a great Ironman Canada next year!
Cheers!!
Jason

I'm from Berkeley California. I've cycled for fun for about thirty years. Gettin a little old for this much fun. Used to cycle over the Berkeley Hills and do a loop through Orinda and the little town of Clayton. About twenty miles a day. A bit much for these old legs.
Where from: I live in Frankfort, IL which is about 35 miles south of downtown Chicago, IL.
What do I at the day job: Day job is an Attorney. I do primarily tax law and the usual stuff like real estate, corporate, wills/trusts and business law. Since my office is 1.5 miles from the house, new bike and inline skates are in my future.
Other than that, I ride as much as possible and do several organized rides in IL, IN and Michigan. I am currently looking at upgrading from my TREK 2200 to a Litespeed Ghisallo.

Where- NYC, NY USA
What Do I Do- Not much according to some... I am a Stay At Home Dad (SAHD... isn't there an abbreviation for nearly everything these days?!?!) but prior to my wife and me starting our family I was (and perhaps someday still might be) a professional jazz musician here in NYC.

The computer says that I need to state where I am from and what I do..... I am from my mother and since that fact what I "do" is cut her grass and fix her house. Wish I had more time to ride.

Cyclists don't give a **** how you earn your money. Just get as many miles in as you can and join a club. I'm sick of replying to rookies, just come back and tell me what mileage you do per week. And how old are you.CeeCee said:I am from Indiana and recently started cycling in July, and love it.
When I'm not cycling I am a hospice nurse. I really hope to get some get cycling tips and befriend some cyclist.
