What's in your stable? A hand-me-down Trek 1100 aluminum frame down downtube shifters. I got complimented on my "retro bike" the other day.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? About 46mph, cruising down a hill on a ride south of Spokane this summer.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? If I can figure out how to post it, you should see it!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Ooh, that's a good one. I can't think of a good response. It was probably something I told in elementary school on the playground.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Aah, so many good ones! Probably the first time I made it to the top of a REALLY BIG HILL, so proud of myself for riding up the whole thing without stopping- I told myself that if I could do that, I could do anything. Haven't doubted myself on a hill since, anyway.

Most fun ever had on a bike? A fall ride called Tour de Latte where I cruised around to 6 different bakeries in 30 miles with a fun group of riders. We were "judged" by the kids on the ride based on how much coffee and baked goods we consumed at each stop. It was great to be on a bike to see the fall colors and enjoy each others' company- and I never pass up an excuse to gorge myself on coffee and baked goods!!
