Well…good early morning to everyone who reads this post. My name is Kyle C. Apa, I am 30 years old living in Central Florida, and I am a relatively new cyclist. I picked up road cycling and am kind of hoping to begin training for my first road race within the next 3 years.
I began my road cycling journey with a 2019 Hiland Commuter Road Bike (2x7 drivetrain, 14 speeds) and unfortunately I was hit by a car on Christmas Eve morning this past year while on my way to work this past year and it not only sent me to the hospital but completely totaled my bike. I was heartbroken. I worked my behind off like crazy these past few months and was able to finally get myself a new bike in early February. My new baby (for now) is my 2020 Triban RC 500 Sora.
