Real name:
Cynthia

Downtown Dallas, TX, in an urban loft conversion from an office building/ department store. You can see pics of our place here. It's actually incredibly cool living smack dab in the middle of downtown on Main Street.

It's kind of my general Internet handle for all of my boards that I frequent.

Explanation of your avatar:
Simple ... How do you know if someone's a Texan?

They'll tell you.

Age (general or specific):
34

Occupation:
Reporting Analyst

Favorite bike:
I only have one bike.

What's in your stable?:
This is a description written by my husband who basically assembled the bike-
1980s Centurion Ironman frame/fork w/ 105 RD & Front shifter Ultegra FD, Brake calipers, cranks, hubs Deore 7-speed rear shifter Mavic MA40 rims Tioga mtn stem and flat bar Campagnolo Nuovo Record seatpost Bell platform pedals Continental SuperSport Ultra 23 front tire Michelin Hi-Lite Road 23 rear tire
However, he changes something every single day on that thing, so it's entirely possible something's changed since he wrote this. My sweetie takes care of me and takes care of my bike very well.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when?:
20MPH, today on the Katy Trail, going downhill.

Another picture of yourself or your ride?:
Not yet, sorry.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told:
I told my mom I graduated in 1996 from college when I didn't finish until 1999.

Most memorable moment on my bike:
I haven't been riding long, so I guess it would be looking down and seeing I was going 20MPH. But I plan on changing that soon. I want to have good memories from every ride.

Most fun ever had on a bike?:
See above.

And, I would like to say, I really like this board, everyone is so nice and helpful! I look forward to learning and contributing for a long time!
