What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Define 'big' ....

Most memorable moment on my bike: If I have to choose just one I think it would be the very first charity ride Al & I participated in. We were contemplating the purchase of road bikes (I was the one on the fence thinking that I didn't really 'need' a road bike). As we were nearing the last five miles of a 32-mile route Al & I were humming along on our comfort bikes enjoying the gorgeous late summer weather. As we whizzed by a group of women on road and hybrid bikes, I overheard one of them say, "We've just been passed by two comfort bikes." It was at that moment I decided Al was right ... I COULD be a roadie!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Just about any time I am on my bike and the endorphins have kicked in is my favorite and/or fun moment. Two moments come to mind; the first at a biking event when Al & I maintained 27 mph for over 10 miles. The second came on another charity ride in northern Wisconsin in late September; the temperature at the start was 32 degrees but it was a beautiful route with Bald Eagles sitting in the towering pines next to the lakes, the aspen trees in brilliant gold foliage, geese gathering for migration, all viewed while we were clipping along at 17 mph.
