Getting to Know You!

[jessica47201]

Real name: Jessica

Where do you live? Columbus and Madison, Indiana

Explanation of your handle: I had to get an email address when I was leaving for the army, so I picked my first name and my zipcode for where I was living at that time. Not very original!!!

Explanation of your avatar: I was having a really bad day at work, and just stumbled across this picture. And it make me smile and laugh. The gorilla looked so happy and the picture just warmed my heart. I later researched the picture and found out that the his name was snowflake. He died of skin cancer on November 24, 2003. In his lifetime he fathered 21 children and had 10 grandchildren. To this day if I'm having a bad day I just look at Snowflake and it makes me happy!!

Age: Just turned 30!

Occupation: Military

Favorite bike: My new 2009 Cannondale Cyclocross 5

What's in your stable? 2009 Cannondale Cyclocross 5, and I just sold my 2008 Trek 4500 WSD.

Fastest speed on a road bike? I was riding down a hill at Clifty Falls State Park and when I looked down at my computer I saw 31 miles an hour!!! I was pretty excited.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't have any at this time.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "I didn't do it!"

Most memorable moment on my bike: When I was like 11 I was riding my bike without using my hands, while rounding a curve, when german shepard came out fo nowhere and ran in front of me. I ran right in him!! Once I got back on my bike I rode the rest of the way home, bleeding everywhere. As soon as I got into the driveway, there were my new neighbors, talking to my parents and there I was crying and bleeding!!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Well I'm pretty new at this, so just getting on my bike is fun right now. But in June I'll be participating in my first group/benefit ride!!!
