Fastest speed on a road bike? Haven't ridden a road bike in years, just got the Scott and will put a computer on it, but pretty fast downhill touring loaded sometimes.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Nop

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I once phoned in sick and said I couldn't come to work cos my Grandfather died, that was a long time ago though when I was a mere twenty- something

Most memorable moment on my bike: You mean I only get one? Ok, that would be touring in Eastern Canada and seeing gi-normous icebergs right there in the bays, and then getting to go out in a weeny boat and see them real up close.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Well I did go on a cycling trip for my honeymoon, that was pretty fun.

Just last week I conquered a single track that til now always got me off my bike at some point, too twisty or too tight etc. Last week just toodling all relaxed, I rode point to point no getting off, I loved it and I was pretty chuffed.

Other than that, just too many to mention
