Thanks for the welcome everyone

Tatormc - Don't make it to OKC much, but I'll keep you in mind if I do! Glad to see another Okie myself, sometimes I feel like I'm on a completely different planet lol...and don't worry about not knowing where it is, some people that have lived in Oklahoma all their lives didn't even know Hugo existed I've lived in Oklahoma for, hmm...about 8 years now *sigh* I'm originally from Denver, CO (and I miss it SOOO much), we may be moving back soon...HURRAY, civilization!

Corsair Mac - bleh, Where I live, roads are REALLY bad, and there's virtually no sidewalks every once in a while though, one of my girlfriends and I ride around the cemetary (morbid, I know lol, but it's the best road in town )... I have to borrow her hubby's bike for now (not the most comfortable thing in the world, either, since it's a man's bike - ouch ) but, we're getting our tax check soon (earned income on two little ones, woo-hoo :P) so I'll probably try to replace my old one then...I may have to go way out of town (or state) to do it lol, but I will! I'm going to get my oldest daughter a bike too, even though she'll only be able to ride it in the back yard...but I've been looking forward to her first big-girl bike for a long time!

Until then, I stay active chasing my girls - a full time job, my oldest is 3 1/2, and my youngest is 17 months - and doing Pilates and Tae-Bo (and, um...wearing out my Dance-dance Revolution pad lol, I'm such a nerd, but it's SOOO fun! :P)

Fastest speed on a road bike? I think I made 22 riding down Bailey in San Jose.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "Of course there's a Santa Clause!"

Most memorable moment on my bike: Finishing my birthday ride, which was also my first ride - it was 24 miles and I was so proud of myself!

Most fun ever had on a bike? My husband and I took our bikes to Monterey and road up 17 mile drive (saw a whale!) and down Cannery Row on one of the most beautiful days I've ever seen. It was so much fun riding with him, which we never do because one of us has to watch the kids. Then we had coffee and laughed and watched the ocean. It was truly great!
