Any road cyclists here?

[Garry Dean]

I recently got into road biking and I was just wondering if anyone here rides as well.

No, I don't have a bike, but it is a fine way to exercise.

I like to watch the Tour de France every year.

Paul (aka the other pc) rides regularly and I raced quite a bit throughout the 1990s. Still have 4 fairly high end bikes sitting in the garage to this day, even though I last turned a pedal almost 10 years ago.

If you're looking for some tips, pointers, help, etc I'm sure there are a few here who can help you out.

I ride!
I've got a Cervelo Soloist that I was planning on racing with about 2 years ago, but never did, and I've also got a Giant OCR2 that I occasionally commute on. My Father has been riding the soloist for the past 8 months or so since his bike was wrecked when he was hit by a car last April.

I hear that those are finely tuned machines.

Are they expensive?

Wonder why the Tour de Pont never caught on here in the USA?

The last time that race was held, our company allowed us to stand by the roadside and catch a glimpse of the peloton as it passed by. That goes to show you that there is an interest here in the sport.

I got a crazy good deal on craigslist yesterday on an 05 Specialized Allez Elite. I did 11 miles on that today. This exercise stuff is like crack!

I used to watch. Like any other sport today. Too much money!

The thing that disappoints me most of all about the cycling,is the overwhelming use of drugs.(I don't include Armstrong,though,as he had cancer and is a great champion.I believe his case was medicinal.)

I just call it the 'Chemical Tour'

THe way the organizers are testing, the days of the performance enhancing drugs are over.

I have three Trek 520 Touring bikes. Last big trip was Amsterdam to Paris in 2005.

Re: Any road cyclists here?

I USED to cycle a lot... road bike during the week to keep in shape for mountain biking on the weekend. Those were the days BEFORE I had a house/yard and 4 cars to maintain. Ah, the simple life...
