Explanation of your avatar: avatar??....you mean I could have an avatar??

Age (general or specific) old enough to remember Nixon resigning on Sunday morning.

Favorite bike: Tachyon (I miss it)

What's in your stable? Orbea Dama Race '05, bridgestone ?? '84?? its on my trainer. former bikes: Bianchi (ugly green), Panasonic ??5000 '85 Tachyon '00??

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I won't tell and it was either coming down Ebetts path (death ride) or coming down from Kaiser pass (climb the Kaiser fun ride) and yes both were fun. Suffered hypothermia on Death ride one year and on another year suffered heat exhaustion. Still fun ride.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? few

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: When I said "I'll retire from cycling". I said it under duress after my last major crash then I sold my favorite Tachyon bike.
