Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
Thanks. Sometimes it gets me into trouble, though*cigh*...well that's a man for ya eh? LOL Love your sense of humour btw!![]()

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: About biking?? Or life in general? Don't recall telling a bald-faced lie outright. But maybe that's a lie right there! : )
Most memorable moment on my bike: I have a few bad experiences that are pretty memorable -- they usually result in scars or torn clothing. Best moment was not ON my bike, but because of my bike...I met my husband while doing a weekly ride with my LBS.![]()
Most fun ever had on a bike? Every ride where I don't bonk is fun. Doing the Seagull Century when I did it in 2000 was a hoot.
Welcome to the board Regina. My first thought when I saw your name was the Coronation Anthems by Mozart of which the most well-known starts with "Regina Caeli"! Long live the queen! :-D
(and yeah: I got one of those MTB bikes that sure looks purty and clean)

Favorite bike: Specialized Dolce
What's in your stable? Specialized Dolce, a beach cruiser (something relatively generic from Sport Chalet). The rest of the stable is filled up with my husband's collection.
Fastest speed on a road bike? Only about 25 mph. I'm still not very comfortable with hills, up or down.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? Will post soon. Having technical difficulties.
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Does hiding shopping bags filled with new clothes and shoes from you husband really count as lying?
Most memorable moment on my bike: In June my husband and I took a "cycling vacation" up and down CA. We were on a trail heading to Folsom Dam going up a 7% grade, which was a huge challenge for me (not a climber...yet.) As I was climbing the hill there, were a couple women fixing a flat on the side of the trail and they cheered my on as I was obviously struggling. I later passed them when I was heading back down the hill and nearly got teary eyed as they congratulated me on making it to the top.
Most fun ever had on a bike? On the afore mentioned trip in June, Chris (my husband) and I rode over the Golden Gate Bridge. That day's ride wasn't very long, but we had so much fun just soaking in the beautiful view, meeting new people and trying to avoid the pedestrians.
