From a list I'm on, thought some of you might know something I don't:
Hey all,
Sorry if this is too off topic but I thought someone on this list
might be able to help me out.
My fiancé and I will be honeymooning in Gatlinburg TN in early
September and we'd love to get some bike riding in. We'd hoped to get
a couple folding or suitcaseable bikes to ride around the area, but
the budget REALLY isn't there.
Anyway, we'd really like to be able to bike more than drive once we're
in the area.
Does anyone on the list:
* Know of a place in the area we could rent some OK bikes at a decent price?
OR
* Live in the area and have a couple bikes they could rent us while we're there
OR
* Know of a good place in the area we might be able to buy a couple
bikes cheaply and then sell them back at the end of the week?
We ride uprights or recumbents and are OK with tandems (although we've
only ever ridden recumbent tandems). I'm 5'9" and she's 5'4".
We'll be getting there sometime on September 8th and coming home the
following weekend. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Chris, as far as I know the only places around here rent mtn/ comfort bikes. I know the feeling. I went to Chicago and wanted to rent a real road bike and even there it was hard, and I paid twice as much for one.

Friends,
I am looking to rent a road bicycle for 3 days (Aug 5-7). I am a native of Kingport and avid cyclist. I am visiting family and would love the opportunity to ride. None of the local shops rent. I live in Bethel, CT. I am packing my shoes and biking clothes with high hopes.
Thank you,
Curtis Tipton

Kris,
Welcome and browse around the website where you will find lots of usefull info. You may be riding faster than you think, but the easiest way to tell is get a basic computer/speedometer that has average speed. There is not a beginner groups, as such. As for road riding, ride with traffic and follow the same rules, wear bright visible colors, use a rear view mirror.
Shoot an email to the main site email address for more specific questions, not here.

Hi Everyone,
I'm relatively new to the cycling world and don't feel that I'm quite ready to join an official group ride - I'd probably be too slow right now. Are there any beginner groups that help show new folks the ropes?
I have a Trek Navigator 2.0 and have taken it on the road for 3-4 trips now, mostly on the Green Belt and in the downtown Kingsport area. I'd love to get more comfortable on the road though and would welcome any tips!
Thanks!

I am registered for the 14th Annual Bicycle Tour of Colorado for June 22nd - 28th with a meal plan and camping service but due a sudden serious health issue with my mother I cannot go. This is a 403 mile loop beginning and ending in Durango through and over some wonderful CO mountains and country ( http://www.bicycletourcolorado.com ). My buddy is driving from Abingdon so you could probably arrange a ride with him. I would like to get half price out of package which breaks down as follows and I will consider breaking up the package if you don’t want it all: Tour with gear shuttle, sag support, etc. 360.00 Camping service with ShuttleGuy 295.00 Meal Plan 227.00 Total 882.00 For more info call Dennis Sutherland – 276 608-4899 |

Saturdays ride to Yuma
To the usual suspects:
Went by McGees today and the restaraunt was only serving from 11-? and was closed due to septic problems.
Guess we might eat about 1 mile out at the Greenbelt Eatery and carry snacks for later or stop by Hicks at about mile 40 for the long riders.
