Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I came close to breaking that 30 mph barrier this past weekend (28.4). My goal is to catch Dianyla (my training partner) on a down hill.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Hmmm, Dianyla? Let's get together and decide on which pics from the ones we've taken on our training rides. I think we probably have the same number of unauthorized shots from both of our cameras.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "Sure, Dianyla. I'm up for adding the extra 20-mile loop to our ride today. Not a problem."

Most memorable moment on my bike: A year ago on my birthday, I did a 26 mile event ride by myself and cried as I crossed the finish line. It was so exciting for me to have that accomplishment. This year I would say finishing my first 50-miler, first metric century, first 80-miler, on and on.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I would say my first group ride with strangers. It was on the San Juan Islands in Washington and I was scared to death!! When I slowed down or lagged behind, there was always encouragement from everyone. AND, as lame as I thought I was - I wasn't the last one back to the B&B.

Thanks to everyone on the forum for providing me with great insight, information, and support!
