Ooops, saw from a post in another thread today that it's proper etiquette to post to this thread, which I haven't yet done. My apologies, hope it doesn't look like I was just barging on in without a hello about myself. So... here goes..

Real name: Wendy

Where do you live? Western Australia

Explanation of your handle: My middle name and my family have always called me that..

Explanation of your avatar: that's my lovely roadbike

Age (general or specific) 45

Occupation: Graphic Designer

Favorite bike: Giant TCRc Zero

What's in your stable? My roadbike and my MTB - a Giant Boulder.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 53km/h down our one and only local hill - 3km in length - usually tackle this once a week. Other than that, it's flatland around here.

Most memorable moment on my bike: My first ride ever on a roadbike with clipless pedals - very scary - of course I fell over when I came to a stop as I couldn't unclip. My daughters were watching and thought I was just being silly. Husband had been having an afernoon doze, when he heard I'd fallen off, he chastised me for not waiting for him to wake-up - he was sorry to have missed seeing that....!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Went on a multi-day ride (9 days) - avg 70km per day, camping overnights, riding in all sorts of weather, meeting new people - great experience.
