Hello from Montgomery, Texas
The grown up biking bug bit me around 2018. It took a little break during covid, but I'm getting back into it and having a blast. I've only recently been discovering how much fun road bikes are for me. In the past few months I've picked up a few gold nuggets from marketplace. I've got a vintage Fuji, modern Motobecane, and as of today a vintage lotus unique.
I'm pretty happy with my little collection and I had just made another post that got fried into the aether because I have not made 10 posts yet. I can't post pictures. Whatever. I'll get a few more posts under my belt and start throwing up pictures of my two-wheeled children

Never made it to that part of Texas. I lived in San Angelo for a while, visited my daughter in DFW, went to Big Bend, Austin, Texarkana, Midland. My brother lives near Houston but I've never been down that way. I'm not a fan of heat and humidity. Come to think of it, I didn't care for hot and dry either lol.
I think I have about 5,000 miles of riding in Texas, quite a bit with West Texas Randonneurs, and a lot in the desert. Wide open spaces, rough roads, stupid hot, hours and hours with nary a car, what little traffic there was is crazy fast.
What's Montgomery like?

Bastrop is a lovely part of Texas. I used to love taking canoe trips from that Bastrop river canoe place, but they died during covid 😭

Welcome to BF. It looks like from your initial post you will be posting some pictures to the C&V subform when you reach your 10 post threshold.

Yeah! I'm pretty happy with the 2 vintage scores I've made so far. My parents have a storage shed that they have implied I can use if I can clean all their stuff out of it. I'm thinking of turning it into a small shop and collecting unloved but otherwise nice vintage bikes around the area

went on the ride at buffalo bayou and went over to the opera to see this cool nutcracker thing they had. my youngest fell and got banged up pretty early. my son did great. he was all geared up in his new helmet and riding shirt and was a freaking blur.
the rest of us had a fun time tho.
