Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I wish I had a computer, but not as of yet. I'm guessing about 35, Ironman Day, July 22nd. I was riding to town to watch the marathon leg and came down this ginormous hill toward the ski jumps pedaling my heart out. Just as I neared the bottom, two Adirondack Trailways tour buses went flying by at about 60 and the wind almost knocked me right off the road. It was terrifying.
Oh also there are these radar speed thingies at the outskirts of every village along the High Peaks scenic byway in the Adirondacks so cars know to slow down. My last sprint triathlon I rolled into town on an uphill at 25 mph! I was so excited to see that I was going that fast. I really need to get a computer I think.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Haha I missed this question! Biggest lie I've ever told? Regarding biking? Well, it was mostly an accident. I was all excited having thought I'd done the entire Ironman loop (see below) and I told a bunch of people I'd done it but realized I'd missed the part where they go down this one road and it's a massive, massive hill in one direction. Then they come back the other way. As if there aren't enough hills already on that loop! :mad:
Most memorable moment on my bike:
Completing my first 56 mile Ironman loop just two weeks after getting my road bike. I was near tears and I called my bike racing uncle. :o
Most fun ever had on a bike?
Hahaha skid contests as a kid?
These days it's catching air off jumps at the mountain bike center in town :D

Well, that was my Mom's era... and I can't help but laugh at some of those classic episodes. Are you trying to argue that Jean-Luc Picard wasn't a real captain? I mean sure he didn't mack on the ladies half as often but does that really make him less manly? :pQuote:

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 31-32 mph, pedaling the flats after our many little hills
Another picture of yourself or your ride? I'll have to take the time to add that someday
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I told my husband that after I quit work of course our house would stay picked up and clean!
Most memorable moment on my bike: It's not a moment, it's a recurring moment. It's the pure joy I feel riding through this lovely countryside, birds and frogs singing to me, when I hit the perfect gear for the grade, just going all out. That gets me up at 5 am.
Most fun ever had on a bike? I think I already answered this above in the memorable question. I'm just really proud of what I've been able to do this year when I thought it was all over for me!
A year and a half ago I couldn't walk for 20 minutes or climb stairs without pain due to osteoarthritis and 40 extra pounds. I started working out and journaling my food intake and of course the weight started coming off. Just as I hit the dreaded weight loss plateau, a friend got me to a spinning class. 6 months later my DH decided I needed a bike. So I went from not riding in over 12 years to a metric century in 2 1/2 months. Happy happy!
By the way, I also have fond memories of TOS, with my dad, who wouldn't miss a week! Now you know how old I am!
Thanks for all the learning here!
