Real name: Barbara
Where do you live? Denton, Texas

Explanation of your handle: well , being named Barbara, my brother, Drew, called me Babz - he added the Z for my middle name, Zoe. Drew died as a result of a nasty cancer and he was an avid athlete and cyclist so I did my first Ride for the Roses in his honor - I think it's proper that I choose his "handle" for me.

Explanation of your avatar: avatar? I had to look it up... say what you mean - mean what you say .... and I guess try to speak in terms of what you want

Age Just turned 47 in January!

Occupation: my day job is in sales, but I'm an artist and my current muse is a one of a kind recycled clothing line called bibelo - I'm represented in a local boutique and plan to be able to go to market in the Fall!! I'm also working on getting a teaching certificate.

Favorite bike: That would be the Centurian Super Lemans - Black Bart - that I rode in college!

What's in your stable? Two Treks - and a lot of dust bunnies

Fastest speed on a road bike? I think it was 38mph going down hill at a ride up in Munster but that was only before I got nervous ... I'm kind of a cruiser really.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I'll have to figure out where they are archived and get back to you

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: well ... I am in sales so I tell a lot of stories ..... plus I just make up goofy stuff for the heck of it just to see how someone will react - but I'm not a devious malicious liar - I'd rather be sort of like the dad in Big Fish.

Most memorable moment on my bike: there are a whole series of them - last spring I decided to begin triathlon training and my then 17 year old daughter said - "I want to do that with you" ... so I was thrilled and privleged to have her as a riding buddy. We had a blast on our actual race day but each training ride was a real treat!

Most fun ever had on a bike? I guess it would have to be those last couple of seconds of balance before crashing into a sandy curve out at a trail at lake grapevine - it was even funnier because I had just emptied a bottle of water over my head so when I stood up I looked like a snickerdoodle dipped in sand and ready for the oven!
