Real name: Cindy (Cynthia if we're signing contracts)

Where do you live? Anchorage, Alaska aka Paradise

Explanation of your handle: Ready for a long story? OK.

Back in high school, I was on Yearbook staff. And the Copy Editor and I did NOT get along. (As Editor in Chief I was his 'boss'.) Anyway, we would taunt one another with various derivations of our first names. He became Sethbian, I became CinderBlock. Cinderly evolved from there.


Explanation of your avatar: I love my cats. No, you don't understand. I LOVE my cats. They are the most spoiled cats west of the Mississippi, if not in the entire Western Hemisphere.

Age (general or specific) I'm turning 30 this November! Woo hoo!

Occupation: Executive Babysitter and Language Geek (more commonly known as Administrative Assistant and Technical Editor)

Favorite bike: Eventually, maybe, something custom. For now, my Rockhopper rocks.

What's in your stable? 2005 Specialized Rockhopper. 15" silver.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Honey, I'm doing good to be moving at all.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Nothing yet.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I told my SO that I was completely out of debt when I still owed almost $10,000 to credit card companies. Somehow, we managed to weather that storm.

Most memorable moment on my bike: It's a tie -- the time I rode 20+ miles without realizing I had done so (I was 14) or the night I got my RH home and was instantly hooked. I look forward to replacing these as I ride more.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I'm still in the very early stages, so just about every moment on a bike is some combination of "This-is-so-cool-OUCH!"
