bikerchick, is the background in that picture real?

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

Is that a sensor on the pole, so the camera trips when a rider goes by? Makes sense. Every picture perfectly timed.

tiffanie.. yep! That's Ocotillo... in the Anza Borrego desert... and this was hands down the hardest century I've ever ridden. The first 50 miles to lunch are all a 2% climb... with a couple of 14% hills thrown in, just in case your not hurting enough...
the REAL problem tho was the wind... it was a head wind the entire climb... with gusts up to 50mph. It was actually scary... and many, many people turned back. By the time we got to lunch we had 10 minuted left before they were shutting it down... us and everyone else who'd just arrived! 
took us just over 4 hours to do the 50 miles...
THEN you turn around... tailwind and downhill... there were 5 mile stretches where we'd be doing 30mph and not pedaling once! THIS pic was on the way back! LOL

Here is me.
The first one is me winning 26 miles Tour De Phoenix among women. I am very proud of it since it was my first ever race. That's why I have a very goofy smile on my face.
The other two are with my husband. Trek Honeymoon in the wine country.

Both, I am only 5'6 and 113 pounds, while my hubby is 6'6 ! I am glad that he is rather skinny for his hight. Imagine what kind of baby we are going to have. Poor me. Originally Posted by FreshNewbie

No testosterone, but I guess I have plenty of estrogen. Maybe it helps too.

I don't have any photos of myself ON my bike, since I'm usually the one taking the photos. But I do have this one of me WITH my bike, waiting for the ferry to Oxford, MD, during the Womantours trip I took in May on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
