Firstly, BIG THANKS to ASammy1, for organising the SS this month.
I was just wondering this month for the SS, if it is an idea or not for us to mention a few things about ourselves???Theme for this round will be warm weather riding and/or fix-a-flat. Remember these are just guidelines.
Feel free to be creative!
OK, shoot me down in flames if it is a stupid idea and you all feel it takes away any of the surprise.
I only ride a mountain bike
Am not an overly girlie girl
Only like wearing baggy T shirts, 'cos I am not petite
Don't wear proper cycling gear
BUT simply love get anything kitsch, or little keepsakes from anybody the other side of the world, anything that is fun, or bike related
Oh yes, chocolate!
You should see the list I always leave Father Christmas.

Firstly, BIG THANKS to ASammy1, for organising the SS this month.
Thanks ClockworkOrange! I think your idea is a good one. I will go next.
I'm a roadie, but also a commuter and casual rider. When riding, I'm not a girly girl, but off the bike, I love fantastic jewlery (I'm a jewelry designer in my very limited spare time).Andrea

I'm a roadie... the thought of going over a curb scares the living day lights out of me. I'm newer to biking (started about 10 months ago) I have just started commuting to school (I'm a grad student). It depends upon the day, but I can be a girlie or I can be a tomboy. I love adventures....

I'm a roadie, a mountain biker, and a commuter- a jack of all trades and a master of none
Generally speaking, I'm a tomboy, but I clean up pretty well when the situation demands.

I'm a commuter and a "pootler", I love "pootling" along on country roads exploring but wouldn't call myself a roadie. I just take my time and enjoy being out taking in the scenery. Luckily I now live in a place with beautiful scenery and lots of it to take in. Aside from cycling, my main hobbies are knitting and cooking/baking and I would love to get back into a bit of quilting. Oh, and I'm a total chocoholic...

I'll join in. I'm a roadie too. A really slow one.
Would like to get my hybrid (or a new bike!) geared up so I could take it to the store for quick runs, but that hasn't happened yet. I don't think anyone would call me a girly girl, but I'm not 100% tomboy (anymore, that is). I do love socks, I'll put that right out there.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!

Me too! Me too! Hate shoes, but I lust after quirky socks!

Love my road bike and train for events 100+ miles in length. In my obsessive/compulsive world everything cycling-related coordinates with my bike -- black and yellow. Mountain bike occasionally, but spend most of the ride worrying I'm going to injure myself and not be able to take the road bike out. Would much rather battle vehicles than have to parry with those pesky trees that refuse to stay out of my way!
Chocolate? Did someone say chocolate?! Our motto around here is, "Chocolate -- it's not just for breakfast anymore!"

I'm mostly a commuter, an occasional slow roadie, and a timid mountain biker. And a vegan who loves socks (shoe size 9) and t-shirts (women's large) and dark chocolate.

Pootler, I like that term. Technically, I'm a pootler--on a road bike. I do like the long distance rides, but I'm just not all that fast. Not terribly girly either--could be if my life depended on it I s'pose, but it's not high on my list of priorities. So far I have been thrilled to pieces with everything sent to me by previous secret sisters.
