New guy from Oregon
Hello! Happy to join to forum, currently located in western Oregon. Spent many years riding in New Jersey, Virginia and Montana, we've been in Oregon for a few years now.
Commute 18 miles daily on a 650b Salsa Journeyman, the wife ride a Trek FX2 Disc.
Hope to learn a bit, I've been working on bikes my whole life but have recently taken the plunge on some decent specialty tools and will be doing quite a bit more.

Welcome. 18 daily miles of commuting will make you sore. Keep it up a while and you’ll be looking for ways to add to the distance, especially in nice weather.

Thanks guys! There's a solid group of commuters we see nearly every morning. Everyone heads west, while we go east. One lady on a beautiful Co Motion that passes us going the same direction every now and then. The Co Motion shop is down the road from my house.
