Hey Skierchickie, welcome back, who did you used to be on TE??

Thanks Pax! I was Skierchickie. Just added the 2 on the end - figured that would be least confusing

LOL, I probably should have guessed that, I'm not the brightest bulb sometimes.

I'm not really new, but life kept me off my bike for the past couple years. Glad to be back.

Real name: Victoria
Where do you live: Saskatoon, Canada

Explanation of your handle: I'm usually covered in ink from my insistence on using refillable pens.

Explanation of your avatar: What I'm pretty sure my face looks like when I'm dogging the crazy drivers in my city.

Age (general or specific): 37

Occupation: Neuroscientist

Favorite bike: Specialized Tri-Cross Sport

What's in your stable? Specialized Tri-Cross Sport

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 65 kph flying down Burnaby Mountain in the rain after my brakes gave out. I don't have any depth perception, so I usually keep speeds way below that!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I guessed the correct answer on my driver's eye exam then conveniently left out my lack of depth perception in my medical history.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Rode my first century as part of a charity ride. I was alone in a sea of strangers, convinced I wouldn't make it. But I did manage to haul my exhausted plus-size carcass across the line ahead of half the pack.

Most fun ever had on a bike? My first real mountain trail descent. It was crazy scary and a huge rush. I was coached down by one of my dearest friends.
