About Me::

I'm 59 & just rediscovered the love of biking after not having biked since I was 12! I'm so new I'm totally ignorant even about different types of bikes, but hoping that through these forums I can learn a lot, grow as a biker, & ride on and on!

Bike:

A candy-apple red Electra 3-speed beach cruiser named Freedom. I bought her new 3 years ago, but have really only ridden her since this past July.

Interests (Hobbies, favorite activities, etc.):

I love going to movies and playing with my 2 bichon frise's, Chamois and Pookie, both of whom I got from rescue organizations -- and biking, of course! My hubby and I have been married for 41 years. He loves biking, too, and got me into it.

What I do for a living:

I retired in April after working since I was 12.... and boy, am I loving retirement! Before that, I was a mom of 2, now grown and gone, and a medical transcriptionist for 30 years.

Favorite Race:

I don't even know any races! But I'm excitedly planning my first tour in June 2010 in Idaho.
