Getting to Know You!

[Cheryl SF]

Real name: Cheryl

Where do you live: San Francisco, CA

Explanation of your handle: Straightforward, not very clever. It was late and I couldn't think of anything.

Explanation of your avatar: On a training ride in Brentwood, Northern CA. It's one of the few photos of myself on my bike where I think I look fast.

Age (general or specific): 32

Occupation: Advisor for international students at an art school

Favorite bike: As in what I'd like to own someday? Hmm... a Pashley Princess Sovereign and a Rivendell Glorius.

What's in your stable: 2006 Giant TCR (road), Electra Amsterdam Classic, 1964 Schwinn Collegiate 3-speed.

Fastest speed on a road bike: Downhill around 30 mph (I'm uncomfortable descending, and never knew how fast I was going until I got my bike computer working recently). This was somewhere along Bollinger Canyon RD, in San Ramon, CA. July 2007.

Another picture of yourself or your ride: None right now.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Can't think of any! I always feel too guilty to lie.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I've been cycling since Feb. 07, so I'm fairly new. My most memorable moment so far was completing my first century- America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride in Lake Tahoe.

Most fun ever had on a bike: Doing a bike pub crawl in downtown Sacramento on my Amsterdam Classic with a group of good friends.
