Explanation of your handle: It’s what everyone calls me.

Explanation of your avatar: Need to find one.

Age (general or specific) 48 and never felt better.

Favorite bike: Trek Pilot

What's in your stable? Trek Pilot 2.1 (Speedy) and Cannondale C500 (Pokey).

Fastest speed on a road bike? 35 MPH, going down a very steep hill during a group ride. The guy behind me said he could smell my brakes the entire time. I don’t feel comfortable going that fast.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Don't have any yet!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: My weight on my driver’s license – it’s what I weighed before I got pregnant with my son. The woman at DMV rolled her eyes when I told her my weight and she said “are you sure?”. I use it as a goal to strive for.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I tried out a new bike trail that I can only describe as an enchanted forest. The trees were sky high, the path was so cool because of the deep shade and it was ever so quiet. I was the only one there riding on this wonderful path. It took my breath away.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Flying down Nicollet Street on my CoasterKing bike with playing cards in my spokes.
