Any good cycling forums (road, not MTB), let me know

I'm assuming you mean bicycle - right?

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

www.mapmyride.com is a good site... I know they have forums, but I haven't browsed them much yet.

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.
