And if you want to tell us, how long you've done it, do a shout out for your team/sponsors if your race, and if your a guy...are you hardcore enough that you shave your legs(the ladies will like that lol)

I have a hot pink/white/black Crammaratti from the 90's. It treats me well, I keep it in shape.
Did the Seattle to Portland ride in one day (320km) with Team Creo. Including a high speed crash, that was intense.
Doing a one week ride through Colorado in June.
I love just throwing my ski playlist on my mp3 and just flying around on the aerobars.
No I don't shave my legs, but I wear spandex obviously.

road racing and riding is fun, but it's nothing compared to mountain biking. mountain bike racing is probably the funnest thing i have ever done

Road racing is more analytical and much more of a team tactics sport than MTB. So if you dont have a good team, it can suck.

roads are for cars. trails are for bikes. people around here piss me off. the roads are barely wide enough for 2 cars to pass and dumbfuck road bikers are always riding down the middle of the roads

that isnt really why cyclists shave their legs. they shave so when then crash and get all cut up, its easier to clean up and there is no hair holding dirt in the cut.

i've got skid stopping down like money. i can do a decent track stand, but i'm not that good at it yet. it's so gnarly blasting around down town at rush hour. i've gotten hit twice, and it's a bitch. dodging buses and angry business men is one hell of a rush.
