Getting to Know You!

[abarensfeld7]

OK I guess I should finally do this!

Real name: Anna

Where do you live? I'm from Ellwood City, PA but I live in Ithaca, NY now while I'm at an undergrad at Cornell.

Explanation of your handle: My name and my number for all sports!

Explanation of your avatar: umm I don't have one

Age (general or specific) 21

Occupation: student

Favorite bike: my Rocky Mountain Hammer Race, even though it isn't getting very much play anymore. It's such a hot bike, though.
EDIT -- oooh oooh, I didn't realize I could put my favorite dream bike! I want a Cervelo Soloist Carbon ...it's so sexy and faaaaaaast looking. And while I'm at it, how about a Kona ?Stinky Supreme for the mountains?

What's in your stable? Trek 1000WSD, which is my first road bike, and my Rocky Mountain. Recently was forced to trash my ancient, hand-me-down, beat-up Diamondback Topanga. I loved that bike and rode it for years around high school (boarding school) and college...you never saw a rustier bike, though. No one could salvage it! My Trek is working decently but I'm already looking forward to the next one -- although it will be awhile. The LBS back home pulled a fast one on a new road rider and sold it to me a few sizes too small...so it doesn't fit so well.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 50.5mph, but after 576 miles on the road so far I still haven't found that perfect, wickedly steep hill to bomb...

Another picture of yourself or your ride?

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Goodness, I don't know. I hate lying.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Bombing our steep driveway as a little kid on a banana seat bike, throwing a skidding turn onto the grass on the left every time. Around the 50th time I lost it and I still have the asphalt scars on my knees...my favorite scars, and I think they'll last me forever!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Ooh that's a tough one. Yesterday's TT was pretty damn fun...a bike tour in Morocco with my Mom and sis was pretty fun too.

Thanks for reading!
