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.
