Getting to Know You!

[maillotpois]

Real name: Sarah
Where do you live? Mill Valley, CA

Explanation of your handle: The climber's jersey in the Tour de France is the maillot a pois rouge (jersey with red spots). I use this shortened version quite tongue in cheek because even though I have done a lot of rides with a TON of climbing, I'll never be the best climber!!

Explanation of your avatar: Don't know enough about computers to have one!

Age (general or specific) 39

Occupation: Attorney

Favorite bike: WAY too many to choose from... Pinarello Dogmas are great!

What's in your stable? I have an Eddy Merckx Team SC and a Colnago Ovalmaster Ti. My daughter and I ride a Meridian tandem.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? about 59 at the Death Ride in 2005. My husband was trailing me in the car and I realized that if I went down, he'd hit me so I slowed up. Just a tad.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Um. I haven't figure out how to put pictures in yet...

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Hmm... I haven't told my mother about the night I spent in jail. Is that a lie or an omission?

Most memorable moment on my bike: Getting caught by the USPS pro team on one of their training rides in Marin in 2004. Hincapie, Pena, Noval, Ekimov, Azevedo, and me! I hung with them for 10 miles (they weren't going their usual speed), and it was fantastic! I was the only girl in the group and of course had to blurt out "Hi EKI!!" as soon as I got into the pack.

Most fun ever had on a bike? See above. Also, riding Alpe d'Huez and Mt. Ventoux in France in 2003.
