Greetings from Virginia

[jlgreer1]

Hi everyone,

I have been riding a very long time. My current favorite bike is a Trek Soho with Gates belt drive, a Shimano Nexus 8 speed, and a disk up front. It is all black and quite striking. I have had it about two years and ride frequently.

I recently moved from Texas to Virginia. There are some very nice off road trails in this area. I have used my Trek on a few of the tame versions but the Soho is definitely a street bike. I'm currently studying modern mountain bikes to make a good purchase decision.

I had a Trek 3900 (?) last summer in Germany. It was a great bike but a little big and heavy. It was perfect for my situation there that included some mountain trails and a lot of commuting. The bike was my only means of transportation other than walking a public buses and trains.

I'm looking forward to being here and hope I can contribute to the general discussion.

Jeff

Hi Jeff...whereabouts in Virginia?

 

[jlgreer1]

I'm currently in central Virginia about an hour south of Richmond. It is beautiful here but the streets are not bike friendly.

This is a very busy forum and I see most are from the British Isles. (That's OK)

I really liked riding through Virginia recently...spent time around Mechanicsville and the coldharbour battlefields etc...Yorktown is a gem.
Welcome aboard...and yeah it's mostly Brits but we've been friends since Cornwallis and Washington had their little tiff
