Fastest speed on a road bike? Where? When? don't ride a roadbike. been up to 32 on the tandem (with my eyes open) sorry, don't know where. We have llots of hills around here.

Most memorable moment on my bike:
when I got up a particularly short hard hill on my own.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told:
can't remember. Try not to tell big lies often.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Tandem rallies are a lot of fun I've been to two and the next one is going to be in Corvallis, OR.

Another picture of yourself or your ride?
I did the STP when I turned 50. It was really really hard. I can't draft off
other people because I see out of only 1 eye at a time and have poor depth perception.
here's a photo of my son and I half way to Portland on the STP. I am so tired
I do not realize that i've put the helmet back onto my head backwards.



here i am in Portland, Tired and DAMN happy it's over!
