fabulous work, Leftie!! You look GREAT!

Namaste,

Explanation of your handle: It's actually "car back". An often yelled word from the back of the pack. Also a bit of a private joke between a good friend and me.

Explanation of your avatar: I am without one.

Age (general or specific) early 40s, but I feel 25.

Occupation: Copywriter

Favorite bike: I don't play favourites...

What's in your stable? Trek 2100 WSD road, Gary Fisher Cake 3 full suspension, Gary Fisher Hoo Koo e Koo hardtail, Vitali Touring

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 78 km/h (~48 mph) downhill on Hwy 66 just outside of Bragg Creek, Alberta. June 2003.


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I'll plead the 5th amendment on this one. (I'm also a terrible liar)

Most memorable moment on my bike: One of those days when everything just comes together: tailwind, sunny warm day, great friends, effortless hills, saying "on your left" to a guy on a bike (OK, I'm a little competitive). Sigh...

Most fun ever had on a bike? Far too many times to come up with just one.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Not sure of actual mph, but racing down a steep hill with my best friend (more fearless than I am) in Crozet, VA on a blind curve
Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't have very many pixs of myself


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Of course I can do that!

Most memorable moment on my bike: I used to ride religiously when I lived in Virginia, near the AT. I had a 20 mile daily route through rolling hills, farms, gorgeous scenery. Every ride on that route was memorable-I can still see it. I just started back to riding this morning, after a long layoff (years) due to illness.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Today, realizing I can ride again!
