Hello from San Diego

Hi everyone, I've lurked for a long time but am planning to start being a bit more active. I live in the San Diego area and have been cycling for the past (almost) 3 years. I got into road cycling after my wife started doing triathlons and inspired me to get in shape. I ride with a couple clubs in the area but mostly do solo rides. I love the experience of a long ride, thinking about nothing except the road, how I am feeling physically, and how I want to tackle the next hill. Recently I started wrenching on my own bikes and also updated an old Trek frame.
