My Steed: Specialized Tarmac Expert
Why I started biking: I ran cross country all throughout high school, and my first year of college. I would get injuries periodically due to stress fractures, and would ride my bike to cross train. It didn't take me long to figure out that biking was way more fun than running.
Favorite bike ride: Six Gap Century, 2006!! My boyfriend and I rode together, which made the experience a lot of fun...despite the fact that it POURED for nearly the entire ride! I was scared to death on the descents, but I loved the climbs. It was beautiful and epic and I loved every minute of it!
Greatest accomplishment: If I get through it, completing my Ph.D will be my greatest accomplishment.
Strangest bike setup ever seen: Handlebar streamers on a super-expensive carbon fiber bike at Superweek in Wisconsin. It was awesome.
Dream Bike: I don't really have one. Anything that's reliable and shifts OK is fine for me. Besides, it's the legs and heart that count, not the bike.
Highest recorded 'on-bike' speed/ location: 51 mph on a descent off a mountain in Hunstville, Alabama. I thought I was going to die.
