Hello! I'm a relatively new cyclist--I hadn't ridden a bike in 15 years until I got my beloved little purple road bike in February. I still don't know what the heck I'm doing, but I'm riding longer and harder each time I go out, and I'm having a lot of fun! I'm a member of the Athena camp so I'm also still figuring out how to make my bike work for my body and vice versa, so I'm looking forward to talking with other Athenas about their experiences.

I'm based in Berkeley and ride mostly around town except when I catch a ride with other cycling friends to trails in other parts of the Bay Area, and I hope to start biking part of my insane multi-modal transit commute to San Bruno soon.
