Favorite bike:
I love both my Cannondale bikes!

What's in your stable?
My Cannondale R700, my very first bike (since my 10 speed in gradeschool), just started riding last September, and it's quickly becoming an obsession of mine. Someday, I'll trade up for the R5000! Just got my Cannondale mountain bike this week, and can't wait to overcome some fears on the trails in Kettle Moraine, WI.

Fastest speed on a road bike?
Well, I'm going to be honest and say that I'm just starting to not break all the way down the hills (everybody needs to start somewhere), so only about 27 mph.

Most memorable moment on my bike:
The day that I got back on my bike (after a quick stop) to travel the 20 miles back home, and felt an overwhelming feeling of love for the sport of cycling (and my bike).

Most fun ever had on a bike?
Riding with boyfriend (who got me to buy my first bike) on this really hilly trail as fast as I could to keep up with him. It was, and always is a complete blast! The longest I've gone so far is 50 miles, and right now I'm concentrating on adding speed. I'm doing the American Lung Association Ride on June 3-5 (150 miles - 50 miles each day), and already signed up for my very first century (Apple Cider) in September, so I have plenty of time to train. My favorite thing about being on my bike is the feeling of freedom while I'm riding, and the feeling of pride when I've just pushed myself to the max!
