Hi! I am new to the board and I just wanted to introduce myself. Maybe you can all introduce yourself back so we can kind of get to know each other?
Loving the cycling. I am excited to connect with all of you. Looking for great support from you guys, but also looking to contribute to this community.
Nice meeting you all people!
Mod Edit:
If we’re gonna do this, do it right. Copy/paste/fill it in
I think this is a good thread idea, but might be worth adding where you’re at, what you ride, what else you’re interested in and how long your beard is, etc.
