Explanation of your handle: It's the handle I use for just about everything. Been using it since the early 1990's when I registered for aol.

Explanation of your avatar: From a sprint tri called "Dash for Diva's" at White Lake, NC. I'm wearing my team "Tri it for Life" tri suit plus a tutu. I only wore the tutu during the run part.

I like to mentor the bike rides

Fastest speed on a road bike? Yesterday, 37.7 mph riding down what looked to be the steepest downgrade I've ever seen. Kinda Scary actually

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Sorry, I need to do better in the picture posting category.

Most fun ever had on a bike? A bike and barge trip to Belgium and Amsterdam in 2009. Riding a big comfort touring bike (I felt like the Queen of England sitting up on that bike.) Actually every time I ride and can smile at the end is a lot of fun
