History:

Got back on a bike again in July 2005, after a 14 year layoff, to lose weight. Former Cat 4 Racer back in the Navy, before that just citizens level races. Navy stopped my bike riding when I had to go to sea. Spent time off the bike for 11 years due to naval obligations and excuses about gearing not right for hills and a torn ACL in 97. Sold cannondale in 99 because I wasnt riding it. Fed up with the way I looked at 300 lbs., got back on and glad I did it. Got my Cat 5 license in March '06 and joined the Somerset Wheelmen. Moved to Saint Augustine, to be with Girlfriend, family and friends after getting laid off from work in NJ. Now in Florida full time and working to lose some of the weight I put back on.

Road bike
Description:  

This was the Bike I started with in July of 2005, in NJ. Hence the (NJ) designation. I knew I would travel and see my parents a lot. So I got two bikes to save money on transport.

Three newer bikes later..... :) Yes I did save money actually. The Orbea cost, in total, what it would have cost me to ship or fly a bike down and back every time I visited.

This one went through HUGE changes, since I rode it so much more and got it fitted/equipped the way I knew I needed it.

Started with a Triple and Sora and Suspension Seatpost and cushy saddle. Changed to
Flite Saddle
Neuvation M28 Wheelset
SLK Compact Carbon Crank 50/34
Shimano 105 Shifters and Derailleurs

This bike taught me what I liked, needed and didn't like. Now my brother in Laws.

Road bike
Description:  Old racing bike. Do not have it now, sold it when I lost interest in riding. Served me well. Still had a picture, so I'd thought I would post it with my lifetime estimated miles. I know I did more than 7000, but it's a safe estimate. Used to be a R300, but that's the model I cracked the rear dropouts in a sprint on and cannondale gave me this frame as a replacement. That's why I have red effects and a blue frame. :) The original color was red with white.
