Getting to Know You!

[CorsairMac]

Welcome to the board:


Stephanie: I'm so sorry somehow I missed your getting to know you post - don't know how coz I LOVE your avatar! There are days I really do ride like that just coz riding feels soo good!!

Katie: my first road bike on this my latest adventure in cycling was a 1987 Peugeot Avaroiz. He's really just a tad too tall for me......51 cm and the perfect fit for me is a 47 but I sure do love that bad boy. Most of the components are still original to the bike and he'll stay in my stable for years to come!

NJGirl: but of Course you should yearn for that $10,000 Cervalo! Every once in awhile I go to trekbikes.com and build my custom bike - just for grins and giggles. So far the cheapest I've been able to build was somewhere around $7500. lol Never hurts to dream eh?

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I'm not very fast. I think I hit 21 on a downhill, but don't have many hills around here.

Most memorable moment on my bike: When I was younger, I would always fall going around a particular turn (not sure why), and have scars on both knees from the road rash I used to get.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I enjoy riding with Mr. Sheesh. We ride almost every weekend along the lake path and the view is beautiful! I especially love the sunrise.

Tell me about it, sister! The fastest I've ever gone was at the Pleasant Prairie Triathlon last month, when I was going down an overpass, with a tailwind, and my arms in the aerobars. 30 mph! Whoo-hoo!

Welcome, Carolyn! There's the makings of a TE/Chicago posse here!

Thanks, Lise! The only hill I ever tackle is on the south end of the Lake Path. I make it a point to hit it both ways, though, rather than going around because I know it's my only real chance to do it.

You have true mental toughness. I ride that "hill" when I'm training in my own mind, but not when I'm just "out for a ride"!
