Hi everyone! I've been lurking on here reading threads for a long time and figured it's about time I registered & introduced myself.

Real name: Mandy

Where do you live? Everett, WA (north of Seattle)

Explanation of your handle: I'm addicted to my malamutes! They're my "kids" and I absolutely adore them.

Explanation of your avatar: It's a photo of the aforementioned malamutes.

Age (general or specific) 29

Occupation: software engineer

Favorite bike: I'm pretty happy with my Ruby, though I haven't ridden enough yet to know if I'd like something else better.

What's in your stable? a 2006 Specialized Ruby Comp, and an 2005 Trek Fuel EX8

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 39 mph on a nice long downhill near Snohomish, WA. I'll have to go ride there again sometime to see if I can break 40!

Another picture of yourself or your ride? None yet.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I better not post that here...you never know who'll find it!

Most memorable moment on my bike: The first time I conquered one particular hill near my home that I used to have to walk up.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I always have fun on my bike!
