New to the forum/introduction.
Hello fellow bikers, cyclists or whatever we want to call ourselves. (Cyklist with a "k" if you are someone with English as their second language like myself).
I recently decided to take up cycling again. A hobby and passion that I very much enjoyed back in the 90`s, about 50lbs ago

As my name indicates, I`m originally from Norway, but live in the US now (Southern Nevada). Back in the days I was really into the hobby. I completed Trondheim-Oslo in 1993 and 1994, at that time, perhaps still? the worlds longest one-day race at 540 km/335 miles. I moved to the states in 1997 to go to college, got married and ended up staying in the US. Unfortunately I left the hobby. I guess life with kids and work got too busy.
In the spring of 2009 I learned that I had a defect heart valve that needed to be replaced. In September I had open heart surgery and now, after a successful recovery I feel the need to stay in shape more than ever. So, it`s time to get back in the saddle. I actually don`t even own a bike yet, but hopefully within a few weeks, that will change. Anyway, I`m glad to be a part of this forum and am looking forward to learning from you all.
Anyone else from Norway or Southern Nevada in here by the way?
