Bike - Klein Q Carbon Race
Weight - in the 20lb range
Pace - Gentle hills average about 17 MPH for 20 miles
Rider Weight - 225
I generally can average 19 or so on the flats but pulling my fat butt up the hills kills me.

Seriously, that's been my approach for years now.

Bike--Trek 7500
Bike Weight--Who knows, why care?
My weight--190
New Category--My Age--46
New Category--Special circumstances--Total hip replacement!
Pace--Usually in the 17's for 26 miles, faster with a group in a pace line
Terrain--Rolling hills, mostly flat
Favorite pro other than Lance--Ivan Basso
Turn ons--Relaxing on a screen porch rocking chair after a great ride
Turn offs--Idiots who don't get 'serious' cyclists because they think all we do is ride bikes. Idiots like that guy from SI who wrote that he didn't think Lance was an athlete just because he could pedal a bike fast.
