I love this forum! I am a total noob, so reading everyone's advice/experiences has been VERY helpful -- especially the woman's point of view on cycling issues -- I don't have anyone ask about this stuff!

Real name: Christy

Where do you live? Dilley, Texas

Explanation of your handle: initials and anniversary

Explanation of your avatar: I'm doing good to just start posting....

Age (general or specific) 36

Occupation: Insurance Agent (displaced chemistry student!)

Favorite bike: not enough experience to know

What's in your stable? Trek 820 Mountain Bike (about to get slicks! I'm not a mountain biker!)

Fastest speed on a road (no road bike) bike? where? when? Don't know, but based on time and distance, I would say maybe 15-16 on a good stretch. Mostly average 13. Now lets talk about the stationary recumbent and it looks MUCH better haha.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Nope

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: response to "how are you this morning?" from boss - "I'm fine" If you tell him the truth, it'd be an hour long discussion about something most likely unrelated!

Most memorable moment on my bike: Making my first outing on the highway acess road using the lane like a "real" cyclist (this was a BIG deal - I was seriously afraid of being ran over by huge pickups in "bubba-land")

Most fun ever had on a bike? Downhill after the last uphill on the way home!

Anyone else out there from my general area (between Laredo and San Antonio, TX) ?

Well, that's it for now...
