Favorite bike: dunno! I haven't met a bike I didn't like!


What's in your stable? a Giant CRX1 - which is a flat bar roadbike, got it 4 weeks ago, I love it! But I'm already thinking what's next!! I feel the NEED for SPEED!!!

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? About 44kph (sorry don't know what that is in mph) would love to go faster, and am working on it! I'm inately cautious, so that's warring with my enjoyment of riding a bike fast...


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I'm always truthful heh!heh!heh!


Most memorable moment on my bike: It's all good... I just love it.


Most fun ever had on a bike? We took our cycles to Canberra about 7 weeks ago, and that's pretty much when my love affair of the two wheeled kind started. My husband and I and our two boys went cycling around lake Burley Griffith, and it was the perfect day. 30 km was a long way for me then, and it took about 3 hours!!! I've improved heaps in the few short weeks since. Here's a small picture of me on my son Michael's bike which I borrowed for the day (he rode my husband's second bike). Our second son Kieran has an intellectual disability which makes it a little more challenging finding active things to do as a family. So we bought this fantastic buggy for him, and it's like opened a whole new world for us. Life's great!!!

I'm so happy to have found this forum. There aren't many women who cycle around where I live. The LBS doesn't cater very well for women folk, and to have found a WHOLE community of like minded people, is so fantastic!
