Real name: not online. Just another Fred

Where do you live? Mid-Atlantic, they tell me. Some people call it "the TriState" but I think everyone lives in some kind of tri-state area. Then again, we could call it the Mole-hills, because they aren't really mountains!

Explanation of your handle: Back in the saddle after 20 years, I was derailed for some time.

Explanation of your avatar: I have not yet chosen one

Age (general or specific) near enough to 40 that I'm OK with it.

Occupation: I guess you could call me an artist.

Favorite bike: still looking for it

What's in your stable?
Raleigh Technium, ( too big )
Raleigh Seneca, ( errand/full loader )
Cannondale SR800, ( new to me, hurts )
Giant Rincon ( for guests )

Fastest speed on a road bike? I don't recall

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't have photos, sorry. I should probably get some for insurance's sake.

Most memorable moment on my bike:
My first ride, Dad running behind me, then he stopped, and I didn't!
My last ride, when the car stopped, and so did I.

Most fun I've ever had on my bike:
Honestly, some of the breakdowns where I needed a friend or relative to rescue me hours from home wound up being some of the best days. Country roads for hours, nice lunch with people I like, and a relaxing visit on the way home.
There was also a wonderful midnight ride from campus to a nearby city late at night in which I "D"d a Mavic and had to whump all the way back to the dorms.
Snow rides are also a great joy.
