Getting to Know You!

Hi mimitabby- ha! Fooled ya. Nice to meet you.

I adopted the androgynous name cause I'm quite protective of my online privacy. This site feels kinda different tho' - full of great women who share their experiences generously.

It *is* different.
Not that I have hardly been anywhere else; but I have read enough things and seen enough on Oprah to know that there is some "dark matter" out there

You-all are so amazingly concerned about us (all) in our war
Prayers, Meditations and Spiritualities showering down on us like rain . Just think how bad things would be if they weren't...

[Evie]

Real name: Evie
Where do you live? New Holland, PA

Explanation of your handle: It's my nickname. Evelynn is just a mouthful.

Explanation of your avatar: I'll get around to that eventually...

Age (general or specific) 16 as of January

Occupation: Student

Favorite bike: I've only had two, so I really couldn't say.
What's in your stable? One beast of a man-bike. I'm saving for a smaller one.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I've been passed by double strollers. But going DOWNhill is easy, lol.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't have any yet.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Oh, boy...

Most memorable moment on my bike: Well, I'm sort of a newbie...it's not much, but the first time I made it all the way up Custer Avenue felt great. It's a mile long hill right at the end of my route, and at my current skill level, it's madness.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I rode out to the farthest of the backroads at night and had the whole place to myself. The cornfields look awesome in the dark, if you can ignore the bugs...
I can't wait until I can make it out into the woods, though.

I can't even imagine.
I think this place is different, as you've said. I've hardly seen any negativity around here--that's why I joined. Some places are just so draining, between the veiled insults and competition.
