Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? oh let's say about 30 mph on a hill near us just a few weeks ago

Another picture of yourself or your ride?

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: don't remember!!! I really try not to lie! I will OMIT details however...

Most memorable moment on my bike: There are lots of them, but I really enjoyed a time this spring when I was gliding down a hill and above me by just a few yards was a screaming red tailed hawk with a rather chunky snake in its talons. I love seeing nature on my rides- and I just stay on the roads! It's where we live that's amazing.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Every time I go out there it's fun because I'm doing what I want, not what I feel I have to do for someone else (yeah there's a lot of that since I'm a mom to a six year old boy, a wife, and a teacher to middle school kids).
