I bought this Trek in 2003 and rode it a bit but mostly garaged it because I had a new marriage and then 2 young kids. Now that they are old enough to be alone I decided to fall back in love with biking! I have lost 80 pounds, stopped taking most of my blood pressure meds, discovered smart trainers and how not boring it is to be inside now, and commute to work as much as possible and get away on my days off. I am almost at 1800 miles this year between the trainer and on the road.

Welcome back to pedalling, always happy to hear people enjoying their two wheels. Is that a 520? I ride the 2016 model and I love that bike.
