Hi from Southern California

Hi - just getting back on the road. Did some triathlons in the early 80's and raced a little. Then work and life got in the way. Bought a Peloton last March and that has renewed my interest in getting back on the road. Between the peloton and my road bike, I am doing about 50 miles a week. Hope to up that as I get a little more in shape. Great site - though I went to post some pics of my bikes but need 10 posts to do, lol. Cheers all and I hope you all have a nice and safe as possible Thanksgiving,

Welcome back to cycling. There are a surprising amount of former cyclists and competitors returning to the sport during COVID and it totally makes sense. Enjoy getting stronger and recapturing some of the good old days.

When going to UCI, I rode a ton around Laguna Beach to Irvine, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa. PCH wasn’t crazy back then.
