Wow, that is great!!! I think I may have to use that one sometime. Perhaps I should peruse all of the posts and I will have a great assortment of fantastic things to share about myself!! Hahahahah - how funny. I only hope you lie was believed
Crazycanuk - you could always go by Crazycan'tUK! Okay, that's just plain silly - I will have to work on that! What is the explanation of your avatar, by the way?
Hi ladies,
I came across this forum while browsing the Internet for some random bike-related thing (I've spent so much time browsing here, I forgot what I was looking for!), and knew I needed to join.
I have only recently gotten back on a bike of any sort (before that I hadn't ridden a bike in over 15 years!), so I'm definitely very, very new to all of this. That, added to the fact that I don't really know any other women who ride, makes this forum truly a blessing. Now I have a resource for all those questions the BF can't answer!
I look forward to getting to know you!
Cute avatar, Twinkie

I saw it in black and white - which was all there was in New Zealand in 1968. I'll never forget Capt Kirk calling for a yellow or a red alert which of course was a light or dark grey alert in black and white!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I used to work as a writer in adverstising - so I told a lot of big lies.
Most memorable moment on my bike: I want to share two: 1) At the Leornardtowne Crit in 2005, there was a break in the final lap - my teammate said, "Susan, you have to chase" and I did and because of that effort we closed the gap and my teamate finished 6th which was her best finish ever 2) Sprinting past an alligator on a very narrow path in Florida.
Most fun ever had on a bike? Any ride that ends with a Starbucks.
Yay!!! Another Seven rider!!!!! (I ride an Axiom, soon to ride an ID8!).
