Hi everybody ... poking around in here and figured you all were a knowledgable and happy bunch! I'm new to the forum and thought I'd use this thread as a means of introduction ... I'm looking forward to sucking up all your smarts!


Real name: Jen

Where do you live? Southern California

Explanation of your handle: Short for The Great Googlie Wooglie, my alter ego

Explanation of your avatar: Pineapple is the symbol of hospitality!

Age (general or specific) eek! Almost 30

Occupation: you know, computers and stuff ...

Favorite bike: My old beach cruiser Beachy. You know, the blue one ... everybody had one ...

What's in your stable? a Trek road bike, a mountain bike, old Beachy, and a new Nirve

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? sheesh .. I guess around 40, but that would have been JUST before I spilled and gave myself concrete implants all down my left side.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? nah, I'm not that interesting

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: No lies, never. They're not worth the trouble.

Most memorable moment on my bike: The finish line of my first century.

Most fun ever had on a bike? When I was a kid I had a yellow bike with a huge banana seat and white streamers. The feeling of being on that bike zipping down the street ... wow, I've never felt like that since.
