What is the biggest lie you've ever told:
When I was in sixth grade, at a sleepover with my girlfriends, I told a long and elaborate story about sitting next to Tom Jones (yes, the Welshman...hey I was 12) on a x country plane trip. I really think they believed me.
Most memorable moment on my bike:
For some reason I always think about a summer I spent at home (in Newton MA) after my freshman year in college. I would bike over to the cemetary and ride the paths as if it were a steeplchase and all the bumps and cracks were jumps. It was pretty cool. I did it most every evening.
Most fun ever had on a bike?
Once I did a tour of Wales and I was riding in Pembrokeshire. One day it happened that Tom Jones was driving by the group on a remote road and he recognized me....
I guess its about time...

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when?: 43, Auburn Folsom Road when I was still very green to the sport and hadn't seen someone crash yet...now its a little slower...but not much:)
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Mmmmmm.....
Most memorable moment on my bike: Its always about 10 miles into a ride when I get warmed up and just can't imagine being anywhere else at that point and time.
Most fun ever had on a bike? I know there is soooo much more fun to be had but I think its early in the mornings when its just me and my bike and the world is waking up. Turkey, quail, coyote, dove, rabbits, geese...love the wildlife in the morning.
