Another picture of yourself or your ride? Couldn't figure out how to put in the pic - if you could see it it's of me at the barriers for the Tour Down Under.


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: This won't hurt darling (waxing my partner's legs).

Most memorable moment on my bike: Last year I entered the Be Active (public rider) component of the Tour Down Under. I'm not a great rider, and I'm truly bad on hills, so riding through the Barossa Valley was always going to be a challenge. But I was determined to do it for my 50th birthday present to me, and I did it, and crossing that finish line was my proudest single achievement. Had a quiet cry.

Most fun ever had on a bike? This year (2005) partner and I and kids went to France for the summer to see Le Tour and do some riding in bicycle heaven. Daughter (age 30) and I hopped on our bikes in Briancon (highest town in Europe) and screamed down through the Alps, literally. Doing around 50k (32mph?) on hairpin curves. S*it eating grins, all the way down.
