Favorite bike: my beautiful Co-Motion Nor'Wester

What's in your stable? Just my Co-Motion, in Ferrari Red w/black carbon forks (the closest I'll ever come to owning a Ferrari!) Oh, I do also have an old Trek Mountain bike for the occasional trail adventure.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 35 mph a couple of weeks ago going down the steepest hill I've ever dared, on 28th St. near Galesburg, MI....of course, coming back the other direction on my way home I only managed 10 mph on the way back up -- it was a tough one!

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I am not crazy about pics of myself in spandex....

Most memorable moment on my bike: Crossing the finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway after the Tour de Cure, getting off my bike, kneeling down to the track and kissing the bricks on the finish line, as is customary at the end of any race there. What a thrill!

Most fun I've ever had on my bike: any morning with little or no wind, sun shining, breeze in my face, catching glimpses of deer, hawks, turkeys, cranes and any other wildlife here in rural western Michigan, no traffic, just me and my bike. It's freedom like nothing else I've ever experienced.
