What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Um... not sure.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I once rode with Axel Merckx... okay, he caught up and dropped me immediately, but close enough.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Can't pinpoint one specific event, but I've had moments of a "cyclist's high." Feeling good on the bike and being so happy and relaxed I wanted to keep going.
