Getting to Know You!

[kankles]

Real name: Vera
Where do you live? Omaha, Nebraska

Explanation of your handle: I'd never loved my cankles until I started riding seriously and realized my sturdy German cankles, may not be pretty, but they can carry me anywhere without complaint. K instead of a C because my last name starts with a K

Explanation of your avatar: Me on my last training ride before my first century.

Age (general or specific) 50

Occupation: Sales Rep

Favorite bike: The one I'm riding at the moment.

What's in your stable? Trek 2.1 Triple WSD, Gary Fisher Awake

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 36, downhill, of course, in the hills north of Omaha during a training ride last week.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? See below for me with my mountain bike on Vail Pass.


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "I'm fine."

Most memorable moment on my bike: Riding back after dark from a dinner in the country on an old rail trail. Absolutely dark night and my hubby and I were the only ones out there. A little spooky to say the least.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Just about any time I get on my bike and feel the wind in my hair (well, on my helmet) and watching the scenery unfold before my eyes.
