Introduce yourself thread!

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!
