I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa waiting for the weather to warm up so I can ride. I commute to work, ride around town and take week end trips, Hoping to ride across the country soon.

Congrats on the new bike, I'm sure you will love it. Still waiting for warm weather in the Pacific North West too, although yesterday it did get up to 60, with "shudder" sunshine.
 
Take a look around, there is a lot of great information on the bike on the forum.

I took full advantage of it too, my brother and I took a ride down into Oregon. Apiary, Vernonia, Mist, Clatscanie, such a wonderful area on a sunny afternoon.
