I know a lot of people on here are big into the mtb scene but I haven't seen much talk about the other two-wheeled disciplines. My buddy and I just completed the 333mi ride from Pittsburgh to D.C. and we're pretty stoked on it, definitely going to be chasing some more long distance goals in the future. Anyone ride 'cross or road race, gravel grind or randonneur? Any fixie freaks? How 'bout triathletes?

I'm pretty casual about it, but I'm always down for a good hard road ride.
Definitely want to get into bikepacking/touring pretty soon too.

There's a decent number of us who rock the skinny tires

No crazy mtb or long distance stuff, I just bike as much as I can in the off season in order to keep my knees healthy for ski season. I live in a hilly area and I've become rather addicted to the high I get from slogging through a long route of steep hills

Yeah dude this ride was the first real go at bikepacking/touring and I'm hooked. Super cool feeling to be self reliant in the middle of nowhere with your bike strapped to the gills with gear

A few years ago I had a friend that was telling me about the STP - Seattle to Portland bike ride. Two day event with a keggar at the end. It sounded like a good time and it was something I wanted to do. Thanks for reminding me. I have to hit this before I move out of WA.
