What is the biggest lie you've ever told: It's easy to climb that mountain, we made it to the top in a few minutes.
Most memorable moment on my bike: Climbing a never ending mountain wearing unproper equipment for cold weather, under a stormy conditions, with a broken cellular and not feeling hands and feet. When I get to a village I was so miserable that I feared people could treat me like a vagabound. That was a 300kms brevet and a I DNF at 177kms.

Hi girls
I've changed my bike frame Ruby Specialized for a Ventus, Van Nicholas. I'm very happy! My "Nikita" has a Titanic fidelity and we did toghether 3 brevet Randonneurs this year 200kms, 300kms and 400kms (that was last 25th May and sure a hard day)

Some one can tell me how can I put some photos of mine in this forum.
