JANK is GO
Greetings, I live in wonderful Bloomington MN, recently lost my bike in the MN river (long story) and am on the cusp of forking over 3k for a Boone 5. I an not a racer nor a guy who bikes with groups or seeks such. I am a rather adventurous loner who will occasionally do a 30 mile circuit around my area or do the Mpls Grand Round, which hits all the awesome parkways in the City of Lakes - the best biking city on the planet. This includes you Madison, where I lived for 13 years. See you around!

Welcome to BF. I'm heading up to do the Root River State trail with a buddy from BF probably early in October once it cools down a bit. I've heard that the riding up is pretty awesome.

Here's my new buddy. This replaces my 14 yr old Bianchi Volpe, which is comparable to the Trek CrossRip I also test drove today. I didn't do any Cannondales - just made the mad leap to this beast.

Thanks to all. It's good to be back in the saddle.
