I'm assuming you mean bicycle - right?

http://www.bikeforums.net/index.php I've found this one to be the most helpful.

bikeforums is good. And I'm sure there is some sort of "ORBA" (Off Road Biking Association) for California.

I just found "beginner triathlete" since I started doing them. It deals with a lot of road bikes so you'll be fine. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/di...egory-view.asp

Best part about beginnertriathlete is a triathlete is way different than a roadie (road bicyclist only). Triathletes actually consider strength training while road bikers would cut off their arms if not for their arms supporting their head.

You looking into a road bike or already have one?

I'm tired of mtb bikes because you can't go fast on them, and I want to try some distance riding and some good workouts. Haven't owned a road bike in 10-15 yrs though. Not sure whether to get a race-capable bike, or a so-called "touring" bike.

I like this one:

www.ifitdoesn'thaveamotorit'sfuckingworthess.com

They have some great topics:

Ball-Stretch: Pleasure or Pain?

Spandex, uber gay, or just regular gay?

Girlfriend left me for a Ducati rider, should I kill myself?

Cabernet stains on my jersey, suggestions?
