Hi,

I live in the U.S., Pacific Northwest at the moment, but moving back to Georgia ASAP.

I ride an Independent Fabrication Crown Jewel. 8-10k miles per year.

I'm a strong generalist, so my favorite rider has to be Voit.

Avondale, Arizona (Western suburbs of Phoenix). Cannondale System Six, Felt Virtue 2, Schwinn Madison, On One geared hardtail MTB. Ride year round. Abut 8k miles a year (150/week with a handful of weeks traveling for work and not riding). Love the sprinters - Cav, Boonen. Also love the guys who can win from 1k out - like Cancellara in Milan SanRemo last year - http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/mar08/msr08/?id=results. Or does anyone remember Chris Wherry attacking Danny Pate and Chris Horner on the last climb in Philly in 2005 and holding on for the win? http://www.bike-zone.com/road/2005/may05/wachovia05/?id=results/wachovia05USPRO.

Greater Seattle, WA area (USA), I currently ride a '06 Trek Madone 5.9 full DA, Favorite teams: Astana, Garmin, Columbia, Saxo, Cervelo in order. :D Always a GC fan, but over time the Classics guys are becoming year-round favorites. Boonen, Devolder, Hincapie, Hushovd, Cancellara, etc. I only rode 4-5k kilo last year, hoping for at least double this year.
 
Hey all, I'm from eastern Canada (Ontario). Currently ride a Bertrand bike (local bike manufacturer), and only put out about 5000 k last year. Freak weather where I live + a couple of crashes = not a lot of fun.
Favorite active teams in order: Caisse D'Epargne, Astana, Team Saxobank, Cervelo Test Team.
Favorite active riders in order: Alejandro Valverde, Fabian Cancellara, Alberto Contador, Tom Boonen.
Favorite race: TDF of course ;)

Hello - yet another person from the Pacific NW.

I live in Seattle and split my time between a Canyon CF Pro with Chorus and a Moots Vamoots with Ultegra. I live in the U-District, but most of my riding occurs on Bainbridge Island - it's kind of nice to get out of town and enjoy some riding sans traffic and stoplights.

I'm a returning student splitting his time between a 30 hour work week and a full time schedule at University of Washington studying mechanical engineering, so my mileage isn't as significant as I'd like it to be. My season usually starts at the end of the school year, but I try to sneak in a few rides in the spring when time allows.

From Auckland, New Zealand. Ride a Fondriest Mega, mainly for fitness but enter a few fun events each year. I follow the European season closely and read CyclingNews.com virtually every day of the year. I went on a trip to last years Tour de France, a fantastic experience and rode some of the big climbs while there.
