After hanging around here for a few months, I finally figured out that I was supposed to introduce myself.

Favorite bike: mine!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: if I told you, I'd have to kill you

Most memorable moment on my bike: catching back up to my good friend and training partner just as we reached the summit of a six-mile climb after having been dropped much earlier

Most fun ever had on a bike? every time I get to ride with my girlfriends--we are five right now--and we work together and take turns pulling, whether it's the regular Tuesday night ride or a longer weekend ride
