So...there's no intro area here, or at least I haven't found one...

Anywho, I'm Ashley, 22, from northshore MA. I grew up in the hills of CT, and have been riding since I was 14 or so. I rode an old Gitane and Raleigh for a few years, and got my Trek 1000 for my 16th birthday. It's still my bike now

I moved to MA for school and such, and therefore biking seemed to go out the door with the lack of time. This year, however, I moved back to the town my school is in, and have taken to commuting to school, as well as trying to get back into longer rides.

I go to an art school and kinda scare classmates when they see me in full cycling regalia, but oh well, I enjoy it.

I'm also a car chick...being president of a car club and director of media for the New England Rally, and besides my bike, my car is my baby. I do almost all the mechanical work on her ('93 Mazda MX-6) and completed an engine/trans swap two years ago. I'm somewhat of the school mechanic, bike and car-wise.

I'm a freelance designer/photographer, so expect lots of pictures from me about random things

Annnd here we go:

The bike (who needs a name!)


The car (Macy)


Me back in '02 at the Tour de Torrington


And here I am, under the car, the only one working on the car, surrounded by four guys...

Welcome. Loved the pics. Now we can ask you questions about our cars?

thanks for the welcome.

Welcome redd. Its a great little forum (though not so little, its grown hugely since i joined - I think there were only about 6-7 forums!)


Why aren't you on your trek in the Tour de Torrington? I'm looking for the Trek... but can't see it anywhere... so you are both somewhere in the pic but obscured by everyone else?
