    Update!

    Since I can't seem to update from post from long ago and I don't want to confuse folks, I have moved (from Placerville, CA to SLC, UT) and shattered my land speed record (now 49.something back in the summer). And I have another bike in my stable, a 2005 Titus Racer X mtb. I think everything else holds true!

    (And since I can't keep the same avatar, I won't even try to explain it. As of 1-11-06, this is the "winter" avatar )

    Real name: Sarah
    Where do you live? Mill Valley, CA

    Explanation of your handle: The climber's jersey in the Tour de France is the maillot a pois rouge (jersey with red spots). I use this shortened version quite tongue in cheek because even though I have done a lot of rides with a TON of climbing, I'll never be the best climber!!

    Explanation of your avatar: Don't know enough about computers to have one!

    Age (general or specific) 39

    Occupation: Attorney

    Favorite bike: WAY too many to choose from... Pinarello Dogmas are great!

    What's in your stable? I have an Eddy Merckx Team SC and a Colnago Ovalmaster Ti. My daughter and I ride a Meridian tandem.

    Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? about 59 at the Death Ride in 2005. My husband was trailing me in the car and I realized that if I went down, he'd hit me so I slowed up. Just a tad.

    Another picture of yourself or your ride? Um. I haven't figure out how to put pictures in yet...

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Hmm... I haven't told my mother about the night I spent in jail. Is that a lie or an omission?

    Most memorable moment on my bike: Getting caught by the USPS pro team on one of their training rides in Marin in 2004. Hincapie, Pena, Noval, Ekimov, Azevedo, and me! I hung with them for 10 miles (they weren't going their usual speed), and it was fantastic! I was the only girl in the group and of course had to blurt out "Hi EKI!!" as soon as I got into the pack.

    Most fun ever had on a bike? See above. Also, riding Alpe d'Huez and Mt. Ventoux in France in 2003.

    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!"

    Yeah, isn't that fabulous? Snapdragen found it for me to use as my avatar. (Again, I bow in gratitude to Snapdragen)

    It's sort of a good luck thing for me; we had a dachshund (Schatzi) who lived to be 18. Now I look for dachshunds at every triathlon or long running race--I almost always see one, too.

    Yes! What kind of Fuji do you have? I named mine "Midori" (I wanted a Japanese girl's name). I'm obsessed with mine! I'm so glad I'm not alone in my Fuji-love! Thanks for the welcome, I'm excited to be here.

    Real name: Michelle

    Where do you live? Connecticut

    Explanation of your handle: Mmm. Complicated. It tangentially involves my two favorite colors (orange and green), the color of my first "real" road bike, and my enviro roots.

    Age (general or specific): 28

    Occupation: Policy analyst for a regional environmental non-profit

    Favorite bike: Oh, how can I choose?

    What's in your stable? Of course they all have names:

    Mango: 1999 orange LeMond Alpe d'huez roadie with Campy: my "city" bike
    Ramona Quimby: 2004 Cannondale T2000 touring bike, my daily ride now that it's winter in the northeast
    Tomato: 2000 (?) (CAAD 4?) red Team Cannondale Campy Record roadie: my nice weather bike

    Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Hmm. Not sure. I caught some speed on some of the Queen Anne hills when I lived in Seattle...40+ something?

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Hmm. Incriminate myself, why?!

    Most memorable moment on my bike: Most recently, the finish line of the 108 mile NYC century in September. It was a long ride, which is not a big deal, but it was the longest last "20 miles" of my life, with all the starts and stops of the city bike riding. Overall, it was an amazing day.

    (Or was it when I was still trying to like mountain biking, and it was failing, and I was crying and I tried to throw my old POS Cannondale MTB off the side of a cliff on a trail in SW Washington state?)

    Most fun ever had on a bike? My first century, the NYC Century, of course! Though I very much enjoyed riding in Portland, OR a few summers ago and being spoiled by Breakfast on the Bridge on my commute into work (organic fair-trade coffee, organic berries on homemade organic pancakes...mmm)

    Welcome to the board Rusty! Ramona Quimby?? Dare I ask where or what that came from?? your story about trying to take up mtb'ng had me smiling - I tried it this summer too. I haven't given up on it yet but I'm just too much of a roadie at heart - I kept thinking this mtb'ng was really hard work for not going anywhere! LOL
