    That would be amazing if they could build a lane just for bikes. Unlikely. But Becel is good times.

    Real name: Cindy

    Where do you live? Amarillo, Texas

    Explanation of your avatar: usually its the Energizer Bunny -- I keep going and going and going (100 miles, the wind or the hills)

    Age (general or specific) between 39 and 50 depending on the day

    Occupation: bicycle rider, mom, programmer, and volunteer

    Favorite bike: my 1 yr old Orbea Orca

    What's in your stable? 3 road bikes: Orbea Orca, 2 Treks; 3 mountain bikes: 2 Treks and a cheapy (got to have a bike for each family member)

    Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Over 50 mph going downhill. Needed every bit of that speed and more on the next uphill climb.

    Another picture of yourself or your ride? pics? in bike shorts? hmmm

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: The ride will only take an hour.

    Most memorable moment on my bike: Santa Fe Century last year. My leg warmers fell off , I had a flat in the first 10 miles , got dropped by my group , drafted with an Albuquerque rider , caught up with my group , and finished with energy .

    Most fun ever had on a bike? riding with my friends

    Welcome to the board one and all!

    Song: your explanation of your user ID brought such a smile to my face - what a great name to be remembered by!!

    7: my first thougth was Star Trek - I was already to read that you were #7 of 9! Grad Student??...what subject if I may ask?

    Cindy: has an Orbea?? I Love the colours of the Orbeas - there's one here in blues and greens that I lust after every time I see it. As for the Santa Fe Century - next time your up my way (Albuquerque) let me know, you got a place to stay if you need it and we could always ride the Bosque for rest and relaxation!

    Hope to hear more from ya'll!

    Hi! I'm new here. Here's a little about me...

    Real name: Lisa

    Where do you live? Folsom, CA

    Explanation of your handle: I just got a new Independent Fabrication Crown Jewel, thus Indy Gal

    Explanation of your avatar: It's a pic of one of the decals on my bike

    Age (general or specific) 43

    Occupation: IT - Java developer

    Favorite bike: My IF Crown Jewel

    What's in your stable? 2005 IF Crown Jewel, 2001 Lemond Poprad, 200? Raleigh R300, 1986 Schwinn Sprint

    Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? not really sure... In the 30's, I think, on a descent during the Waves to Wine.

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "It's not you, it's me..."

    Most memorable moment on my bike: My first organized ride. It was only 38 miles, but I felt like I'd done a century. I was pretty proud of myself.

    Most fun ever had on a bike? The MS Society Waves to Wine ride last year. Just a wonderful two days on a bike. Perfect weather, beautiful scenery and great camaraderie all supporting a worthy cause. Doesn't get much better than that!

    Welcome to the board Indy! I had to smile when I read the explanation of your ID - I thought you were IndyGal coz you were from Indianapolis and/or Indiana! Having a new IF bike is waaaaaayyyyyy much cooler!! Congrats on the new bike!


    #7? good luck on your Ph.D my friend. One of my riding buddies here is working on her dissertation right now in ecological preservation (biology) and she's a trip to ride with: points out all the flora and fauna and rather it really belongs here or not and how it impacts our environment! very educational bike rides!

    Ooh, and I'm close enough to drool. Niener-niener.

    I'll be sure to let you know of rides we organize so everyone can drool. There are quite a few of us who get together.

    Do you race cyclocross? use your Poprad on the road?
