Real name: Marielle

Where do you live? Colorado Springs

Explanation of your handle: I've borrowed it from an LGBT cycling group. I like the play on words...be out, outside, outta town, etc. and biking is one of my favorite ways to do that.

Explanation of your avatar: the head badge on my bike

Age (general or specific): 39 in '08

Occupation: nonprofit management

Favorite bike: whichever one I'm riding, usually.....though the Serotta Ottrot is dreamy

What's in your stable? custom DaVinci steel road bike + vintage steel no-suspension Gary Fisher mountain bike for my commuter

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Not sure....probably downhill on the Big Island of Hawai'i

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Hmmm...non digital. I'll work on that this season.

Most memorable moment on my bike: My first century maybe 12 years ago...a now defunct ride called the Tour de Hardscrabble. About 80 miles into the ride there was a WALL of a hill climbing out of the Arkansas River canyon. I had trained well and felt great - I told my riding buddy I'd see him at the rest stop at the top and powered up the incline feeling strong and free!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Often my last ride - but I'm just reminded of a time as a kid when one member of our bike gang got the first 10 speed of anyone in the group - I raced her around the block with my one or 3 speed? and won!
