Occupation: Retired, thank the goddess.

Favorite bike: I would love to find an 1980's De Rosa or a 1970's Eddy.

What's in your stable? REI AVD 2.1 touring/gravel bike, Gary Fischer mountain/bikepacking, Fuji road bike, Faraday electric assist, and last but not least 1985 Eddy. I have a slight issue....I'm addicted to collecting bicycles!

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 47.6 MPH. I was riding down the backside of Mount Tam (Marin County, CA) towards Stensin Beach, 2011.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? "I don't have very many pixs of myself - I hate having my pix taken" I feel the same way!


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I don't like to lie and I don't like being lied to. Honesty is the best policy.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I was six years old, my parents bought me my first bike. It was a Schwinn (unknow model), baby blue in color and it was a boy's bike. I remember placing my left foot on the pedal, both hands on the handlebars and pushing off. I was filled with the feeling of freedom and adventure. I remember it like it was yesterday and when I begin each bike ride I have the same feeling.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Every time I get on my bike is a memorable and exciting.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: In junior high I got caught with a bunch of pennies I was planning to throw at other students. I somehow came up with a detailed and convincing lie about them being for a science project.
