Occupation: 5th grade teacher
Favorite bike: My Rambouillet
What's in your stable? a Rivendell Rambouillet - better known as Fluffy, a Specialized Stumpjumper Comp, a Santana Arriva tandem, and a 12 year old Rockhopper
Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 59 on a 7% grade on the back of the tandem WHEEEEE! I generallly hit the mid 30s on descents I know well. I always stay in my own lane - unlike some cars I've followed.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I 'm a lousy liar.
Most memorable moment on my bike: Crashing my Stumpjumper on a rainy day going off the sidewalk in front of my house while wearing my slippers and no helmet. My hand still hasn't fully recovered. The bike is fine.
Most fun ever had on a bike? Probably chasing down a roadie while riding the tandem on the Ironman route in Hawaii.
