I may have done this before but I've not posted much for a long, long time so I'll do it again.

Real name: Maria

Where do you live? Denver

Explanation of your handle: It's a play on my kunya, or nickname, from Arabic tradition.

Age: 40

Occupation: HR

Favorite bike: all of them:
commuter - '92 Bridgestone XO-2
latte getter - early 80's Nishiki mixte
road - K2 T9 Twister - A truly fabulous bike that didn't get nearly enough attention. I've logged a few thousand miles on her and she might just be the most comfortable bike I've ever owned.
latte getter 2 - '74 Raleigh Grand Prix mixte

What's in your stable? See above

Fastest speed on a road bike? 38mph I'm not a huge fan of going too fast.

Most fun ever had on a bike?
1) RAGBRAI in '08. My 6th overall, but my first in 13 years. I didn't stop smiling the entire week....of course I'm pretty sure the others were equally as fun.
2) Any ride with my kids. My son is a avid cyclist and is building endurance for longer rides. My daughter is just starting out and I believe will grow to love biking as much as the rest of us.
3) We do lots of small, local organized rides from one-day endurance rides to our weekly neighborhood family ride, charity rides and the weekly massive cruiser ride (occassionally - I enjoy a good drink or two but the drunks on this ride are taking over.)
