Getting to Know You!

[leathela]

Real name: Laurel

Where do you live? New York, NY

Explanation of your handle: So uninspired that I'm too embarrassed to post it

Explanation of your avatar: I'm still trying to decide what I'd like!

Age (general or specific): 26

Occupation: Senior Marketing Coordinator

Favorite bike: I had a Trek road bike in college that I absolutely loved...sadly, it is no longer with me. It got stolen my first year in this city.

What's in your stable? Specialized Myka Elite, Specialized Dolce Comp Triple

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 45, on a very long and secluded rural road in Upstate NY. (Downhill!)

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Hmm I have a lot, but none with me at work.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I told my ninth-grade boyfriend that I loved him, which I didn't...I was afraid of hurting his feelings :/

Most memorable moment on my bike: Riding through a field and watching a mother deer and her baby (he had to be only a few weeks old) run into the distance. This moment was very special and relevant to me, as I'd just found out the day before that my sister was pregnant.

Most fun ever had on a bike? The first 50-mile ride I ever took with my boyfriend. It turned out to be a 90-degree day (somehow we'd missed the forecast) and we were hot sweaty messes by the time we got home, but we had so much fun together and really discovered that we are meant to be.
