Real name: Lynn
Live: Wakefield, RI
Handle: Red head from RI
Age: 39
Occupation: Goldsmith
Favorite bike: bf's Eddy Merckx (it's like bike art).
In my stable: Specialized Dolce Sport (proud to have found it used last year), highschool mtb, 2 touring strays picked up on the side of the road.
Fastest speed on bike: 34.8, downhill, a few weeks ago
Most memorable moment: That would be when I didn't fall when I hit that sandy patch last Thursday. Close call!
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Not ready to admit it here!
Most fun ever had on a bike: Block Island. It's a stone's throw (and a ferry ride) from home. Beautiful, hilly and magical. Go if you can, and let me know, I'll meet you there!

I live in Providence, have a place in Narragansett!
I agree, Block Island is beautiful and a great place to ride!

Yay Stella! Another RI girl! Thanks for letting me know you're out there. Don't see many women on road bikes down here (I know Prov is different). Maybe our paths will cross this summer. Where do you ride? Are you friends with the Circle A riders? I love those bikes!

I don't know the Circle A crew--but I DO love their bikes! I frequent the Hub Bicycle shop in Providence and Stedman's in Wakefield. The Hub attracts a combination of roadies, commuters, messengers--very diverse crew.
Where do you ride?

Mostly I ride around Wakefield-Charlestown, Matunuck Schoolhouse Rd is my work commute (lucky me!). Used to ride back and forth on the So County bikepath, but given that up for the less crowded inland roads (Tuckertown, Minesterial, Old Coach Rd, etc). Thinking of riding to Mystic soon, but that would be my longest ride yet. Not sure I want to do it alone, but that's how I generally ride.
Haven't been to "the Hub", but think they're getting a little tired of me at Stedman's. Love that place. They're so nice! I'm still a newbie, always picking their brains for info.
So glad I found this site. You ladies all have such great advice! Reading your posts has helped me so much.Last edited by redrhodie; 06-05-2006 at 01:49 PM.

Welcome to the board one and all! Whew - I took of a few days and the board exploded!! It's so exciting to see so many new people! Hope to be hearing more from all of you!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
