Introduction

My name is Chris, and I am fairly new to cycling. I have completed 4 sprint triathlons, and my goal is to improve my cycling skills. I hope to be at the next meetup.

Can you share more details on your biking group goals; type of bike you have, and do you have all bike gear? Have all of you posted a picture and read the RSVP rules on the -ABOUT US- Link? Will you sign the Liability Form?

Would like to ride in a group to get better/faster and learn. I have a 2002 Cannondale R700, helmet, shorts, shirts, shoes, etc. Working on the winter gear. Posting a picture today.

What major cross streets do you live near, any routes in town you'd like to share or try out with the group? How far are you willing to drive for a biking event? Are you here for exercise and/or socializing?

Sandhill/Tropicana No special routes. I would go to Cali or Arizona for an event. Mostly here for exercise and learning.

What days of the week are best for you to bike? Do know bike maintenance or like to learn? Need guidance or help with bike and accessory purchase info?

I can do long rides on Sat/Sun, but work 8-5 M-F. I would like to learn bike maintenance. Need guidance. I usually go to the Bike Shop in Henderson.

How long have you been biking, how often do you ride, your average distance, speed and how comfortable are you riding on the streets? Or do you prefer bike paths only? Have you done or are you interested to train partial or full Centuries?

I've been biking a little over a year. I started with a sprint triathlon. I ride 2-3 times per week about 10-20 miles at 15mph. I'm ok on the streets. I would like to do at least a 1/2 century.
