    Hi all.

    I have signed on to participate in the Alzheimer's Memory Ride on July 23, 2011. It is a metric century. I haven't ridden in 15 years, and then it was a mountain bike while living in the city.

    I bought a Jamis Coda Sport, a helmet, spare tubes, ect. I know I still need "stuff" like proper footwear, clothing, ect. I learning a lot from this forum, and I appreciate it very much.

    I was wondering if anyone in the area would be interested in showing a newbie the ropes? I'm looking for practical info on equipment, training (I'm at a loss with all the gears and how to use them properly), ect. I'd love to join someone on a local ride to learn as well.

    I know this is asking a a lot, and may seem a bit lame, but I really want to do this right. I want this to be a lifelong (I'm 40, who knows?) activity.

    Thanks for listening (reading).

    Brian

    Brian,
    Contact you local bike shop. They usually have organized rides for all levels of riders. These are great for meeting people in your area that have similar goals and riding levels to train with. You can check out the cycling club that I belong. They host a variety of training events for beginers. Things like equipment and safe cycling are covered in these and could be another way of you meeting locals.
