Real name: Emily
Where do you live? Central Texas, but about to move 500 miles west in 9 weeks (yes, I'll still be in Texas).

Explanation of your handle: I've chosen to call West Texas my home and as the place the begin my career, so it seemed apt.

Explanation of your avatar: It's my kitty, Theo. He's a good boy.

Age (general or specific) I'll be 25 shortly.

Occupation: Veterinarian

Favorite bike: I like mine, even if it's uncomfortable for the time being.

What's in your stable? Specialized Dolce Elite

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Don't know, but I there are some wicked hills near my house and I can at least keep up with cars on the same road just coasting.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Don't have any current ones at the moment and no pics of me on my bike either


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I told my mother I spent my birthday money on new clothing, but I spent it on a plane ticket to visit my friend in Utah... however, due to guilty conscience, I caved and told her where I was after I arrived.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Not on the bike I have now, but on the bike I had in college (a $75 Walmart special) I crashed into a fountain at school and scraped myself up pretty badly. Instead of stopping to check things over because people were watching with horror on their faces, I shouted, "I'm alright!!" and ran off.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Everyday is fun and it gets better and better as I improve. Hopefully I can get my bike fit correctly and then it won't hurt as much either to ride!
