Real name: Laurie

Where do you live? Pembroke Pines, Florida (just south of Ft Lauderdale)

Explanation of your handle: The trails can be a bit "rooty" down here in the Glades, I have a full suspension MTB & my fiance has a hardtail (a little rough on the bum) It is something I say while I glide over the bumps as he is grimacing.

Explanation of your avatar: Still working on that

Age (general or specific): too old to be asked, too young to care...just something I like to say in order to avoid the question...but really 34

Occupation: Digital Image Designer (fancy name for Photoshop guru)

Favorite bike: My first real MTBike...the obsession begins A birthday present from my fiance after just a month of dating.

What's in your stable? Santa Cruz SL Juliana & soon a road bike (still deciding...which is what brought me to this wonderful forum in the first place!)

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Don't have a road bike yet...but about 5 or 8 on my fiance's which is twice too big for me. 28 on a MTBike.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? working on that too...

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I'm fine!

Most memorable moment on my bike: I traded my pink Huffy for a beautiful blue 12 speed Schwinn (this was YEARS ago) and rode as fast as I could through the streets of my neighborhood, through the park, back to the fire roads over this jump I had done many, many times before on my trusty Huffy...Let's just say road wheels were not made for jumping. I guess I am a true trail rider at heart. Although, I am very excited to experience road riding!

Most fun ever had on a bike? When my fiance, then "just dating", realized I loved to ride...I knew that I had him hooked! Now if I could just do a wheelie!
