What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "Please, just one little dog is all I want" (see my web site for what we got, both on the same day!)

Most memorable moment on my bike: Having cyclocross levers fitted to my road bike, until this I couldn't reach the brake levers and was terrified of the bike, it stayed in the garage for 2 whole years! Now I can't stay off it :-)

Most fun ever had on a bike? Cycling/camping holiday on the Isle of Wight. I agreed to it because it's just off the south coast, and the south coast is flat.. Hmmm Isle of Wight is a hilly island just off the south coast LOL Boosted my cycling fitness and technique no end :-D
