Hi Marc!

I just joined the club and saw your post here. I live in Causeway Isles on the St. Pete side of the T.I. drawbridge. I try to ride a couple times a week from my home to St. Pete Beach or Pass-a-grille. I'd love to have some company! I haven't ridden downtown yet but would love to do that as well.  Please reply and let's ride!

I did my first club ride yesterday, 8/28/10. Had a terrific ride with the 18-20 North group!! On my drive to North Shore from Treasure Island I noticed several small groups of riders riding down 1st Ave. S. I don't know if they were riding to North Shore for the club rides. Anyway, I'm intending to start riding to the ride start rather than drive and was wondering if there's anyone that rides down to North Shore from T.I. or along that route that I could hook up with. It'd be a nice way to warm up and meet new people!

Thanks for the many emails I've received regarding LBS's.  I've since purchased a Specialized Secteur Elite from Action Wheelsport on 66th St. just a block south of 54th Av. N.  Bill was excellent to work with on my wants and needs and JJ, the technician, did an outstanding job fitting me to the bike. He asked lots of questions about my riding style, distances, speeds, etc.  The fitting process took over an hour with lots of measurements.  The bike is so comfortable, except for the stock seat, which I'll be replacing as soon as I can build up the funds. : )  I've only been able to do two 26 mile rides due to weather and college kid move-in, but I stare at it all day and admire it's lines. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks again for all the input! I look forward to getting out on some club rides!

Hello everyone!

I have an Orbea Onix 2006 for sale. If you are interested, the pictures are here:

The bike is in good condition...I am selling because I recently purchased a TT bike. Frankly, I have not done research on the fair price but we can chat about it.

I usually attend the Tue & Thu 5 pm rides if you need more info. Also, I live in the Old Northeast if you'd like to stop by before or after the club rides.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm ready to buy a new road bike after 14 years of riding a Cannondale hybrid. I've visited a few LBS's (ABC Bikes, ChainwheelDrive, Revolution bikes) and would like to know if there are others that would be worth my checking out.  I've googled local shops but not all have a website to see what they carry. So I'm hoping folks here will clue me into other good shops that carry quality road bikes.  Please email: trobinson017@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to St. Pete bicycle club, all the volunteers, and everyone that made this event happen.   Me and my dad had a great time. If anyone wants to read my account of the ride you can see my blog at http://theridealong.blogspot.com/

Helllo.  I am staying at the Carillon Park Hilton through Sat morning  and would like to get out on my bike while in town.  Are there any rides that pass close by this area or  are there any routes that I could  get to from my location?

Thanks,

Melissa

We would love to- but Sat. would be the day that would work for us.

Anyone ride on treasure island at all?

I'm new on the forums and i just bought my first geared bike, other than that i have been riding a fixed gear bike for a couple years.

I ride around the area central and 66th to downtown st.pete or the beaches.

Just looking for some people to ride with!

Want to ride from Clearwater to Fort Meyers Beach, preferably not on highways. Has anyone does this, and what was your route. Thanks, Ricardo Moreno from St. Louis, MO.

Thanks for looking for me and now you found me. How special that you took the time to locate me and give me a copy of the video.  I usually ride with the group Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday's, going to the Atlanta Bread Company afterwards for breakfast.  Knowing you'll return after the 15th of February, if I don't hear from you, Ill repost.  Happy returns and look forward to seeing you.

Hi.  I'm planning to start doing century rides once a month and am looking for people who might be interested in joining me.  Haven't decided if they'll be on Sat or Sun but am leaning toward Sun.

Any takers?
