Getting to Know You!

[faroe78]

Real name: Susan

Where do you live? Springfield, OR

Explanation of your handle: I collect postage stamps from the Faroe Islands, and I've been using it for my Yahoo handle for years. The stamps are to die for--they are some of the best quality stamps in the world, and sooo gorgeous. OK--guess you have to be a stamp collector. Almost makes me wish I was Faroese! 78 refers to the year of my high school graduation.

Explanation of your avatar: I haven't worked that out yet. Tried to make one but it was too big. I want it to be a picture of my German Shepherd Dog Abby.

Age (general or specific) 46 on June 3rd

Occupation: Registered Nurse

Favorite bike: I like the Trek bikes so far, but Novara makes some nice ones too. And Schwinn has some repros to die for! But as for the Treks, I've been trying out bikes and I have looked at various ones, and I keep coming back to the Treks. I think the Burley runabouts look neat, but they are out of my price league at this time. Maybe some day.....

What's in your stable? I haven't got a bike yet, I'm just starting out, but in 2 weeks I will have a Trek 7.2 FX WSD!

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? not yet!

Another picture of yourself or your ride? As soon as I do, I'll post it on weshots in my album--my webshots handle is shepherdwagen (the name of my VW camper bus.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Lie? What lie? I neeeeever lie! ;^)

Most memorable moment on my bike: Not yet! Most memorable moment so far was the first time I test road a bike a few weeks ago. The shop was right next to the bike path, and I took the bike out a 1/4 mile and came back. I pulled off into the grass and fell over! Glad it was the grass and not the pavement!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Again, not yet! Unless you count the above. It was fun, in a weird way. I've been having fun trying out bikes. I hope the most fun I have on one somehow involves my dog, Abby.
