Hello All! New Member From Buffalo, NY
Hello everybody!
I've been researching different used bikes lately, and kept coming across so many useful threads on these forums that I figured I should be a member.
Currently riding a 2013 Nashbar Trekking Bike. It was a huge upgrade at the time from my early 90's Trek mountain bike, but I'm looking to focus on endurance road biking.
Recently did a 28.5 mile charity ride and finished in 2:25, pretty slow due to traffic but a really great result for me. Definitely excited to push further.
Glad to be here, and nice to meet you all!

The good thing about riding and building up endurance is it’s fun and rewarding. Don’t make too big a jump all at once, be patient, and reward yourself. You’ll be surprised at improvements long term.
