I'm actually doing this again this Thursday around 5. let me know if you're interested in joining.
I have ridin' up Kings and it is a blast coming down. I haven't been putting in the miles you have you don't want to wait for my slow a**. Maybe we can set up a casual ride with some of the members here. Sundays are good for me.

Did you participate in the Bike for Breath in FC this year or last, I did the 20 last year on my mountain bike. I am still trying to convince my fiance to let me buy a road bike.

I just got my girlfriend a Fuji Finest 1.0 for her first road bike. Based on the reviews I've read, Fuji's are great entry level bikes to see if road biking is something you really like. How much is the Roubaix? Not sure how it works for the Roubaix, but for the Finest, there are three levels of bikes with 1.0 being the most expensive and 3.0 being the least expensive. The difference are the components being used. I would recommend going with last years model in the 1.0 trim if you can get a good deal. Good luck with the purchase and hope to see you on the road soon.

That's a great range. The Finest was 1150 but was on sale for 700 because it was last years model.
