    Welcome! You'll find quite a few of us Coloradans in the group. I guess my favorite ride is the Highline Canal. Not challenging in the least, but it's a magical little world in the middle of the city.

    Welcome! I'm from Texas and my favorite ride is any and all new rides. :) I mainly do off roading and am very limited on trails around good ol' East Texas. The highways here can be very dangerous for road cycling because the teenagers around here are notorious for driving in the ditches (and aiming at cyclists :( ).

    Welcome! I'm a Brit that now lives in hills of western NC. We don't have nearly the altitude of the Rockies but even at 6,000'+ elevation it's a beautiful place to ride :) Check out some of our many MFP challenges that run at various times throughout the year. They are great fun and highly motivating.

    Welcome! I live in NE Florida. I love riding along the highway next to the beach (nice, wide shoulder gives us plenty of room to share the road with motorists) and hitting some of our local mtb trails.
    My favorite ride ever was Moose Mountain in Lutsen, MN. Yep, at 1690 ft above sea level, they call it a mountain.

    I'm a Texan, now living in Northwest Arkansas. I love riding here in the foothills of the Ozarks- lots of hills and pretty scenery. My favorite riding place when by myself is at my local National Park.

    Greetings! I'm in Atlanta. I enjoy St Mtn, the Silver Comet Trail & 2 routes to the Chattahoochee River from my house, best early on Saturday to avoid traffic. Both climb the last 6 miles back to my house-how fun is that?!?!

    Hey hey! First Canuck posting here! I live in the Toronto, Ontario region. Dead - freaking - flat. I'd be lucky if I can get a climb longer than 100' in elevation.

    I'm mostly working on commuting now, but whenever I see a dirt trail, I can't help but ride down it.

    East Central Arizona here, but originally from Portland. Favorite ride is from there, Hillsboro to Banks-Vernonia Trail to Stub Stewart and back - some gravel, some road lots of wide open spaces. Here though, pretty much love it all, high desert, pine forest, gravel, dirt and road, it's all goodf.

    I bet that would be a great ride. I actually was born and raised in WA (out on the peninsula).

    welcome fry5150 :smile: I live and ride in upstate NY, in the Hudson Valley region. Lots of great terrain here for road and mountain riding!

    Let me guess; VH music fan?

    Hello all,
    I'm also new. Atlanta, GA area. I am somewhat new to cycling. I ride a Specialized mountain bike where I should be on a road bike...saving my pennies for a Dolce Sport!
