Thanks for starting this thread, Corsair!
Real name: Sarah
Where do you live? Davis, CA (when I moved here in 19um-er, bikes outnumbered humanoids)
Explanation of your handle: My dad calls me Sadie Kate Leech for Sarah Catherine and because, as a newborn, my grip on shirts was unbreakable
Explanation of your avatar: Ditto the comment that “I'm lazy and I haven't gotten around to finding/creating one yet” See? Can’t even create my own answer.
Age (general or specific): Physically, 45. Mentally? I refuse to answer the last. I’d have to lie.
Occupation: Paying homage to the paycheck gods so that my biking/flyfishing/knitting habits can be supported. Rehab for this is too frightening to be considered, so I spend lots of time in prayer.
Favorite bike: Toss up . . . the one I’m on or the cleanest
What's in your stable? I’m embarrassed but . . . Tandem: Lippy, Dirt: Titus, Litespeed and Marin; Town: Bob Jackson and Kelly; Road: Mercian and Litespeed (We’re DINKs and all vacations are spent fishing or biking, what can I say?)
Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 48 on a single going down Howell Mountain into the Napa Valley. 60-god-knows-what on the tandem going down some hill into Napa, hit a steel-decked bridge and learned to fly. Thank goodness our balance is good on the thing and Bubba is an excellent captain.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? This is the last mtb trip we took in southern Utah. Some of them are a bit repetitive but we had a lot of thunderstorms which means you focus on riding and not picture taking. Proud to say that all the boys wanted my “Ride Like a Girl” socks at the end. See if you can guess which one is me.![]()
Utah trip
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Me? Lie?
Most memorable moment on my bike: Too numerous to pick one. After 4 knee operations in my early 20s and recent diagnosis of MS, every one can be special (I am such a sap – I cry over everything).
Most fun ever had on a bike? Anytime I am with my sweetie
