Real name: Really Jill
Where do you live? Central Connecticut valley. Very beautiful, very hilly!

Explanation of your handle: Sometimes I am not *so* creative

Explanation of your avatar: I hate to choose just one image to project as me!

Age (general or specific): Closing in on 40, fast

Occupation: RN

Favorite bike: Haven't met her yet

What's in your stable? Specialized Vita Elite 2010 replacing a 20 year old Fuji mountain bike

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when?: 31.6 mph, on my only group ride so far, terrified the entire time. Speed is not my thing.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "*That* doesn't scare me." Told many, many times. Sometimes it becomes the truth!

Most memorable moment on my bike: Finishing the 1995 Trek Across Maine with my father, who wanted to ride to celebrate his complete recovery from a heart attack one year earlier. I cried like a baby, and not only because my butt and legs were on fire.

Most fun ever had on a bike?: Three days alone with Dad, cheering him up immensely by being less fit than his post-cardiac-arrest self. He's funny, great company, and hard to get time with since he's always working on some project. I hope to have the same kind of fun with my own kids when they're older!
