Warning everyone, Matt is a sandbagger. He'll talk himself down and then cruise past you uphill

Glad to see you found the forum. I picked up a light yesterday, so we need to do some night rides.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Can't wait to get on the trail.

Dave,
I was only in front of you because my bike is 20lbs lighter.
Next time maybe you will let me take the lead downhill...
Let me know when you want to break in the lights, I'll get mine charged.

Matt

Up until I got sick a few weeks ago I was and I know a few others do as well. Weekends and Wednesdays are in the hills, Mon/Tues/Thrs/Fri on the road.

Back in the day when I was single and only had one bike it was 7days/week as mon-fri was all commuting and weekends were "fun" rides.

Thanks JamisJake,
I can't believe I ever stopped although I was having knee issues that kept me out off the saddle for part of it.
See ya on the trail.
