Getting to Know You!

[Sprocket's Mom]

Real name: Carly

Where do you live? Dee, OR (but the address is technically Hood River)

Explanation of your handle: Um, Sprocket's my boy! I'm his mom! (He's my first road bike...well, not really there was Fly but since she was a TINY little thing and didn't really fit me at all I don't count her....she found a nice new home.)

Explanation of your avatar: First tri ever. Aptly named the Beaver Freezer. You can't see in the pic but I'm grinning like a fool! I had sooooooooo much fun!!!

Age (general or specific) 34 (I think...I lose track anymore)

Occupation: Work for the Feds in the natural resources arena.

Favorite bike: YES!!! Oh, we have to pick one?? So many bikes to love....

What's in your stable? An aging QH mare and a pregnant morgan mare....oh, bike stable.... Sprocket: Trek 1000 Aluminum Dash: Scott CR1 all carbon (geek out!! even the crank, water bottle cages and frame pump are carbon!!) Rowdy: Specialized Rock Hopper with Rock Shox x-country Judy shocks (then there's my husband's poor lonely stumpjumper who just hangs around wishing someone would play with him )

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 47.7 MPH, last Sunday...somewhere out there.....I was watching the road not the cyclometer!!!

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Ummm, I think I've exhausted my catalog of photos here on the computer....have to search for more....

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "Seriously, it's only five or ten more miles to the car"

Most memorable moment on my bike: MOST memorable??? Hmmmm, there was the time I was riding up a steep short hill with a VERY narrow shoulder and lots of cars whizzing by....all of a sudden my whole handlebar came off the bike in my hands!!!

Most fun ever had on a bike? The first time I ever learned what a pace line was for and could do for me. I had a BLAST!!!!!
