Real name: Cath

Where do you live? UK, but shortly about to move to New Zealand!

Explanation of your handle: Second passion in life is photography - first passion is being on a bike with a camera in my backpack!

Explanation of your avatar: Thought it summed me up!

Age: 38

Occupation: Work at a university, doing administrative stuff, but only have 16 more weeks to go - wahay!!

Favorite bike: Made the fatal mistake of checking out the sale at the lbs - now have a brand new litespeed in the garage, which I haven't had chance to take out for a proper spin yet

What's in your stable? 7 bikes in all - 4 belong to me! Litespeed, Raleigh Ride 300 (hybrid), custom built road bike (local frame builder) and a Diamond Back M10 (won in a prize draw a month ago).

Fastest speed on a road bike? 64 mph when out on a pootle.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Better behind the camera than in front of it.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told? See above question regarding fastest speed!

Most memorable moment on my bike: Riding my Raleigh chopper at the age of 7, with the wind whistling past my ears, and feeling my heart & soul so full I thought they'd burst (also had the tune to ELO's "Mr Blue Sky" in my head, for some reason!). Halcyon days.

Most fun ever had on a bike: Cycling at top speed down the highway from the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausaulito.
