Short rides mostly (20 to 30 miles) but lots of great places. I put most of it down in a very not-overread blog here:
http://bikecurious.blogspot.com/

I love this forum, terrific (and in my experience, especially honest) people, it's my favorite place (the classifieds that is) to find great deals on all manner of used bikes and whatnot! I built up a wonderful Serotta custom 66cm Colorado for my stepdad early this year and even though I barely fit on it (at a mere 6'2"), it was one of the most incredible rides I've ever felt. Like a Cadillac you could race on! My next bike is definitely a Serotta!

* fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 56mph on a tandem with 575lbs of rider weight on a 1" fork, pulling an 6 month old baby in a Chariot attached. The horrible hills around Dodgeville, WI were not a good time to find out that the Arai drag brake wasn't setup correctly after we had just mounted a brand new rear wheel with a Velocity Dyad rim. Bike shop used lightweight double butted keirin racing spokes that wouldn't have supported just me (and didn't after rebuilding) and hadn't seen very many tandem drag brakes. Very, very scary. I/we had no business towing our little guy. Someone was looking out for us that day as the wheel collapsed on one of the seemingly vertical climbs.

Pantani was my favorite cyclist and I always wanted to be like him (as much as a 6'7" 375lb man can be). You'd be suprised how much lycra will stretch. To the point of almost being see through. Really I shouldn't wear 'em. Had to add a lot of lycra to the shoulder straps to make 'em long enough.
* what is the biggest lie you've ever told I love you. The one lie that should never be spoken.
* and, something fun. I just picked up a Mavic 870 triple front derailleur. Woo-Hoo 'tout Mavic' bike here we come!

* fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 55 mph in combermere, ontario, this spring. been faster on a mountain bike in high school (56 mph), but on a different hill that i still have to check out on the serotta.
* how many miles ON THE ROAD on a road bike last year? no idea. couple thousand. and maybe a thousand on the commuter. maybe...
* picture of yourself or your ride? hm.
* make up and answer at least one additional question: why are so many people on this forum older, in well-established careers, and a foot taller than i am? it's because fancy bikes taste better when you can afford them, and are more necessary when you're so tall.
* what is the biggest lie you've ever told: don't know.
* and, something fun: when i was growing up, i remember the fading american dream of being 16 and getting a license and building a junker car or motorcycle in the garage with one's dad, then going for a drive in/on it as the ultimate expression of freedom and stepping into adulthood. from the time that i can remember building things up, they were bikes, they were with my dad, and all good things in my life seem to be connected to the two-wheel culture in some way. this is a great place to be. and i am grateful.
