I'll bet the Alabama part got your attention. I was searching the internet the other day looking for some parts for a 29er build and stumbled across MTBNJ. I thought it would be cool to join your group even though I don't think I'll make many group rides. I have been riding over 30 years (I'm 55) and most of that time I have been riding off road. I worked for a bike shop in the early 80's and got to do a good bit of touring in our slow season including 2 tours across Mexico on my trusty old Ross Force 1 MTB. I plan on lurking around here in the future and just wanted to say hello. By the way if it makes Ya'll feel any better about the weather, when I got in from my ride earlier this afternoon it was 24 degrees, strong winds, and spitting snow here in North Alabama.:cry:
