Getting to Know You!

[JanT]

Real name: Jan
Where do you live? Glendale, Az.

Explanation of your handle: None needed, but thinking of a change.

Explanation of your avatar: another thing I need to work on.

Age (general or specific) 52

Occupation: special ed teacher

Favorite bike: I drool over nearly anything with two wheels.

What's in your stable? Mtb: TREK 6700WSD; Road: Specialized Allez Sport; Communter: Haro Vector,. If I were rich, I'd probably have a couple more, a singlespeed mtb and a full-suspension mtb. Well, and a tandem to ride with my husband. I could probably afford the bikes, but not a new house with a garage big enough to hold them.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 36, on a downhill, of course!

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I need to learn how to attach pix here. Boy, I have alot to learn!


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "I laugh in the face of death!" (I'm a wimp.)

Most memorable moment on my bike: When I first began mountain biking, I took a class where the instructor inspired me to keep trying to make it up a short, steep technical hill with a sandpit at the bottom of it. I got stuck in my pedals and went down hard three times in a row before I decided to save it for another day.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I can't pick! Every ride is an adventure, and every ride is great.
