Getting to Know You!

[Skierchickie2]

Real name: Jan
Where do you live: Calumet, Michigan

Explanation of your handle: I've been a cross-country skier since I was 9. My first love. The "2" is because I had to create a new account. I'm an old forum member, but had been away for a long time - forgot my password, and have a different email address now so I couldn't reset it. Tried contacting the forum admin a few weeks ago, but never got a response.

Explanation of your avatar: Pic of a bear that has been coming around this spring. Taken from my upstairs bathroom window.

Age (general or specific): 50

Occupation: Mechanical engineer

Favorite bike: hmmmmmm

What's in your stable? Jamis Xenith Pro, Trek Pilot 5.0, Trek 520, Trek Fuel EX 9

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 45 mph, Lake Linden hill, maybe 10 years ago. Haven't gone over 40-42 in a while.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I'd say I never lie, but you'd think I was lying!

Most memorable moment on my bike: So many! Although, the most memorable would have to be the moment I broke my ankle on my mountain bike . Whacked my handlebar on a bent-over small tree, flew over the handlebars, cleats didn't release, so my fibula had to. Had to ride out - glad I was with a friend!

Most fun ever had on a bike? First solo century, when I was in college. A great feeling of accomplishment!
