Hello from Colorado
Hey everyone, just picked up my first (project) carbon fiber bike, a kestrel 200sci, and am looking forward to spending time on this forum learning about possible setups for it.

Lots of great riding in Colorado! Looking forward to end of the lockdowns so I can visit again.

Hello from the UK, I spent a fabulous holiday touring around Colorado many years back and mountain biking some of the trails.

I'm in Denver too (just south of E470), and moved here from Boston 3 years ago. I came for the low humidity, lack of rain, cycling in the foothills/mtns, skiing, fly fishing, and hiking, and wasn't disappointed. I do spend a week in VT every year with my relatives who are in the hills of the St Albans area. Great outdoor activities there too, but I just can't STAND the 98% humidity, nor the insects that come with it, especially those biting black flies and mosquitoes. In Denver it's so nice to be able to just leave your screen door open if you want to.

Hi everyone. I haven't ridden a bike for a long time and still gained a lot of extra pounds like everyone else in this quarantine so I'm trying to get back in shape, I hope this forum will motivate me even more.
