Greetings from NZ

Greetings from Auckland New Zealand

I have ridden bikes for as long as I can remember, for fun, college/work commuting, weekend rides... but have just started to get semi-serious re road riding.

Current bikes are:

Guru Praemio R
Trek Speed Concept 7

I also have a couple of old bikes under the house gathering spiders webs

Marin mid-90s mountain bike
Trek 1200 road bike

I cycle a lot in the Waitakere ranges in West Auckland and, despite what seems counter to common sense, like to grind my way up a long hill climb... maybe just a good excuse for cycling slow!

Welcome to Bike Forums. Nice collection of bikes.
If you want to meet the local folks, stop by the Australia-New Zealand subforum.

Some people like prefer things the hardway though. Nothing beats a good climb and the rewarding descent afterwards.

Welcome!
