What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Let's not go there.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Shortly after I started riding, I showed up to what was supposed to be an easy group ride. The other beginners bailed because of rain, and it ended up just being me and a couple racers. We rode to who-knows-where. I was afraid to get lost because I wouldn't be able to find my way home, and I was too stubborn to tell them to slow down. Climbing a switchback, I collapsed from exhaustion, unable to get my feet out of the clips. After that, they took it easy on me, but were very impressed with my determination.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Last weekend, about 65 miles into a century, I had what can only be described as a cyclists high. The sun was shining on my face and shoulders as I followed a winding river through the country. I dropped the entire pack and felt like I was flying.
