I have posted in cognito 3 times and I feel like a peepin'-tom by now. I better introduce myself.

Real name: Susanna F.

Where do you live? Chico, CA

Explanation of your handle: Growing up in Argentina there was a song from a cartoon called "Heidi" that went "Abuelito dime tu, por que....?" It is a song about a girl that asked her grandpa ("abuelito") about the "whys" (por que) of many things. It is not suppossed to be cutesie, since the cartoon sucked (a major tear-jerker).

Explanation of your avatar: it captures my miraculous finish at the LOP triathlon. No, I did not break a speed record. I did not train for two months before the race and during that time, I stuffed myself through the Balcans.

Age (general or specific) 24

Occupation: GRE slave, soon to be PhD grad-student at some East coast University. Reading TE forum keeps me sane when I am trying to figure out why sock is to tree like cat is to dishwasher (or better yet, when I have to to practice writting on asinine topics such as "People should have heroes")

Favorite bike: My Tomasso Capri because is faster than my cruiser

What's in your stable? Tomasso Capri, Micari Cruiser

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? high 40's at the LOP triathlon down the hills.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I am so fast, no camera can catch me...


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: please see reply above.


Most memorable moment on my bike: the ride at Wildflower. So hard, yet so beautiful.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Up honey run road here in Chico, a super steep 3 mile climb.
