Hi everyone. Mark here, and I just got my bike a month ago due to rising gas prices. I bike to work when possible (which is roughly 8-10 miles one way). I have a Trek 7100. New to this biking community, but I'm actually loving it so far. Except for the saddle soreness, which I'll be fixing soon. After some research, I found the stock, big cushion bulky saddle that's on my bike isn't great for long trips.

A friend of mines, Aprevo15, invited me here. We both rode from Norwalk to Seal Beach and back on the bike path. Fun stuff! (even though my ass was killing me lol)

Welcome Mark... I'm a newbie as well but really enjoying the place.. For me at least the saddle issues have (mostly) gone away after a month or so. After like my second 10 mile ride I was off to the store to get padded riding pants. Now after riding for about two months I don't even think about the riding pants unless I'm going 25+ miles.
