I am from Mobile, AL. I was just wondering what part of Alabama you are from.

PS
I would love to find some training partners around here that are close to my speed (slow).

magic city? You're in my backyard!

Birmingham Area here.

I know we have some in SW corner of BHM, near Tuscaloosa, near Huntsville, Mobile and some over in Auburn.

We're pretty spread out actually.

Haha, yeah, I'm right smack downtown.  Scared to go anywhere after sundown, afraid of getting shanked in the ribs.

We are closer to highland ave which isn't too bad.  We can walk a lot of places and are close to the parks.  Works out okay and I'm 1 mile from work.

I did a majority of may training runs through the Highland Area and downtown in preperation for the Mercedes Half.

I'm still running in the mornings over at the Mtn.Brook Y (2x per week) too, so I'm not far at all.

During the day though, I'm in the Inverness area

I didn't realize there were so many of us.

Another guy to look up is Rogillio. He's in Madison too.

Yup, West Madison/East Limestone for me.  Mike(Rogillio) has quit the forums, but were less than a mile from each other.

I live in Morris which is about 15 miles north of Birmingham on I-65.  There is alot of good riding up my way.  Very little traffic on most of the roads.

I'm in Daphne....would also love to meet a few training partners. I basically just swim and run at the Y...but very interested in starting to ride on the weekends and possibly some OWS when the water warms up.

Gris,

I live in Hayden, so we should get together for a training ride.  I clicked on your profile; are you the same Clark that's going to the Gulf Coast Tri with me and Morty?

That's me!  The picture that is on my profile is from Gulf Coast last year.  The guy in the middle is morty.  Are you taking off on the thursday we leave for gulf coast?  I was going to work half a day but I think I will just take the whole day.

Ha!  That's hilarious.  I didn't recognize him because of the size of the pic. I guess the other guy is Scott.    We do need to get together for a ride.  Every time they call me to go with them, it's in the middle of the day during the week.  I keep explaining that not everyone has fireman hours.

Yea, Firemen stink!!    I get off at 4.  When the time changes I will start riding after work.  Right now during the week I ride a trainer.  I do my long rides on sat or sun.  Just depends on the boss. (Wife)  I think my wife and I are going to oak mountain after church on sun. Probably around 1ish.    I think morty is mapping a long ride for everyone to get together and do in a couple of weeks.

That'll work. I've been on the trainer too, riding outside on weekends.  My wife and I went to Oak Mountain to ride last Saturday, although I don't ride as far when she's with me.  I do most of my riding early in the morning.  In the afternoons, I try to spend as much time with my little boy as possible (also, he's 5 months old, and by afternoon, his mommy needs some relief).  
I am taking off on Thursday to go down for the Gulf Coast.

WHOA! If anyone's going to Oak Mtn., you should hollar - that's my backyard almost.

I'm about 30mins away (door to door) and actually ride there pretty religiously on Fri afternoons when it's a bit warmer. Right now I'm confined to the garage on the trainer, but seriously, when it's warmer, I'm out at Oak Mtn trying to beat those hills into submission...

That and the Vulcan Tri rides on Tues pm once the time change shifts.

This is awesome that there are so many of us close together!

I get my bike next week and plan to ride out there a good bit.  Everyone told me that people don't like to ride with you if you have a tri bike though.  Would it be a big deal if I just stayed at the back of the pack behind everybody else?

Don't you mean to ask if it's okay to lead the pack in all of your aerodynamic greatness?  I was told that I'd want to keep my road bike and only ride my tri bike in races, but I got rid of the Trek because my Cervelo is so comfortable and fast that I ride it all the time.  If people don't want to ride with someone on their tri bike, it's probably because they don't want to be passed.

See, if you're like me, you get a road bike and slap on some aero bars. Then when you're alone, you go aero, and when your in the pack that doesn't trust you, you go roadie

That and the bosswoman has denied my tri bike for now...

And I only know of one real group that doesn't approve of the aero bars, but that's it. Otherwise, most around here don't really care.

Is that a good ride?  I need to find a decent "long ride" type group once things warm up.  I have been a member of that club for a while and haven't any of those folks. 

Thinking about doing their Sunday thing this weekend, though.
