Hey Girl, another Kiwi! How cool is that!
Welcome to TE.

How old are your kids?

It sounds like you have two nice bikes and you live in the most beautiful place in the world. Must be good places to ride there too.

Make yourself at home!

Real name: AH
Where do you live? Queensland, Australia

Explanation of your handle: I'm an Aussie and I'm a girl - not very original i know.

Explanation of your avatar: I don't have one yet.

Age (general or specific) 26

Occupation: Health

Favorite bike: Orbea make beautiful bikes. BT make great track bikes, but i don't ride track - i just like to look at the bikes.

What's in your stable? Alchemy Millward 2004 (Ultegra model)

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? about 75km/hr - not sure in mph. After coming down a really steep little hill in a rural part of Queensland - the hill leads on to a gently downward sloping long mostly straight section, so the momentum just keeps building.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't have very many pics of myself.


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Sometimes when i was young i'd lie to my parents about where i was going and what i was doing - that's about it.


Most memorable moment on my bike: I completed this huge 100km bike race - i was like the only girl in it, and the moment i remember is passing some tough guys when i was going up a hill near the end - they never caught up and i finished somewhere in the middle numbers. That was when i was fit.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Playing a game i call "Oops, my wheel slipped" when riding in a bunch through puddles after rain. The aim is to splash as much water and mud as possible from the puddle on to the rider behind you. It's not an official game - it's just mucking around and is great fun on a warm summer morning.

Oops, didn't mean to post twice. I didn't think the first post took because my 'puter shut down on me while I was trying to.
