Hi all, another newbie here. Except for some recreational rides, and three short-range triathlons about ten years ago, I have been out of biking until just recently. It didn't take too many miles to remember what I always loved about it.

Real Name : Sue

Where do you live? West Milwaukee, WI

Explanation of your handle : Initials and beginning of last name

Explanation of your avatar : I'll get around to having one someday.

Age (general or specific) : Will be 45 this summer

Occupation : Office Manager

Favorite Bike : My new Trek 2100

What's in your stable : Trek 2100, Old Bianchi (Around 1990), Timberlin Hybrid (Passed that down to my husband...it was one of my excuses to get a new bike)

Fastest speed on a road bike : Can't remember from my old biking days. With the new bike probably not much over 30mph....too many spring potholes and loose gravel around here to trust going much faster.

Another picture of yourself or your ride ? I like taking pictures, not being in them

What is the biggest lie you've ever told : Well.... the latest wasn't really a lie... I just didn't bother to correct my husband when he assumed that I spend around $300 on my bike. He's pretty much learned that if he probably doesn't really want to know the answer, he won't ask a direct question.

Most memorable moment on a bike? Quite a few years ago, I was about 5 miles into the 2nd day of a 2-Day 150 mile bike club ride when I took a left turn at the bottom of a long steep downhill, of course I hit a patch of gravel and ended up skidding through the intersection on my thigh. I wrapped it up with a towel and kept riding. It took a long time for the scars to go away and I still have a few black dots that show through my leg from gravel that I failed to clean out.

Most fun ever on a bike? Everytime I go out now I feel like I never want to stop, so I'm sure my most fun is yet to come. I have plans to do some great rides this summer.

I'm so lucky that my daughter's boyfriend is a mechanic at my LBS. With my new biking obsession it's better than having a doctor in the family. Luckily, he still has at least another year of college, so he won't be moving off to another career too soon. We drive my daughter nuts when we get into long bike gear discussions.
