Most memorable moment on my bike: Hmmm...there's a new one about every two weeks. Any time I make a boy suffer is pretty memorable for me.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Dropping down a steep long road into an obscure winery, sitting around drinking wine for a while, and then racing my friends up this ridiculous road with a buzz. We made the old olympian carry a bottle of wine in his fanny pack for the rest of the day! Good times

Geochick... cool degree, what kind of job does that open up for you?

I work for an environmental consulting company. Most of the work I do is related in some form or fashion to contamination remediation. Back in the beginning, it meant I spent a lot of my time "in the field" - sampling soil, groundwater, sediment, etc. I quite seriously used to think that I had found the perfect career for a "grown-up" tom-boy! Alas, the punishment I pay for advancing my career is that, as time goes on, I spend less time outside and more time in front of my computer in the office. c'est la vie, I guess.

But, I still get to do something I love for a living and there are a lot of people who can't say that!


Thanks for the welcome!
