Fastest speed on a road bike? according to my computer I've gone over 45 that had to be only for a nano second, I'm cautious...20-25 usualy and that's downhill only. Avg on flats and hills...sloooow

Another picture of yourself or your ride? there are a few on my homepage, check the www's below

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I never lie....there, that's the biggest

Most memorable moment on my bike: so many, hard to choose,one was my first true century, day 2 on the AIDS Lifecycle on the last hill towards King City, I was one of the last riders, going up the hill, rounding it and seeing the city ahead, feeling tired but knowing I'd make it and looking behind me to the mountain range and valley and seeing what we'd crossed together.

The other i would say is meeting the TE'ers for the ride up Mt. Diablo, one of the most beautiful and challenging rides and great company.

Most fun ever had on a bike? so many memories but after the Lifecycle riding down car-free Market St. in San Francisco on Pride day behind the womens motorcycle contingent and "Mikes on Bikes"

that and almost any quiet day on Alameda creek trail when the Great Blue Herons are out...
