Hi, finally geting around to posting my bikes. This is bike 1 of 4 and I'll put up the others over the next week or so.

I got my first road bike, this Fuji Transonic 2.5, in Oct 2018 and started riding serirously in July 2019 when I joined a bike racing club. No races in 2020 so 2021 was my first year racing and did my first crit & first road race (while it was snowing), etc. this year.
