Hi all, new to the forum. Thought I'd give this a go...

* real name, if you like
-Zack (definitely not "Zach")
* where do you live?
- Los Angeles, CA
* explanation of your handle
-Lack of creativity?
* explanation of your avatar
-See above (I'll get around to an avatar as soon as I think of a good one...)
* age (general or specific)
- 25
* occupation
- Entrepreneur (Insurance and Financial Services)
* favorite bike
-So hard. Probably my current main whip, a 2004 Litespeed Vortex. Such a great bike. Fits me like a glove, accelerates like there's a hidden motor, descends like it's on rails. Only thing I'd change is tire clearance (25's are a squeeze).
* what's in your stable?
-Currently: '04 LS Vortex, '93 Bridgestone RB-1 (raced this bike all last season - steel is really real), '17 Raleigh Willard 2 (gravel/b-road), '08 Scott hybrid (grocery beater)
* fastest speed on a road bike?
-I hit 54 last year at a race, and I've hit 52 training.
* how many miles ON THE ROAD on a road bike last year?
-9850. Woulda gotten the 10k, but a gallbladder removal intervened. Still salty about that...
* picture of yourself or your ride?


* and, something fun.
- I was extremely (+150 lbs) overweight and unhealthy all through high school. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I'd eventually get seriously into bikes and fitness, and wind up competitively racing and on a team (Cat 4, but still!). Even though I've only been doing it for a few years, cycling has really changed my life, and I hope to pay that forward.
