*Real Name ......George C
*Where do you live?........Falmouth/MA Cape Cod

*Explanation of your forum handle.........Life tends to humble you, plus I had teenagers once upon a time.

*Age..........59
*Occupation............Cardiology

*How did you find the Paceline?.............Google

*Favorite Bike............. A beater Basso

*What’s in your stable?.............A $60 undistinguished Basso. An overpriced Serotta Ti (which is the wrong size and came with an unannounced dent )that I can't bear to take my bath on, and maybe a project 70's Marnati frame I sent a big to check to some sketchy guy in Italy for 2 months ago but have yet to see (hence my forum name).

*Fastest speed on your bike? Where? When?...........That would have been in 1972 when I had a full Campy Torpado, big leg muscles, no sense, and used to draft trucks on Clement silks.

*How many miles did you ride last year?........None. Just picked up the sport again after a 40 year hiatus.

*Picture of yourself, your ride, or both together.......I'm ugly and don't take pictures of myself except to record a catch.

*Make up an answer to at least one additional question............I like to fish and I build plugs.

*What is the biggest lie you ever told? ........Yikes, I'm a fisherman, I lie all the time.

*Tell us something fun.......... In front of my young sons and 500 parishioners I once revived a teenage girl who had fainted in a full church. Took care of her then rushed up as the last person to communion. Walked proudly back to my pew past everyone, drove home and decided to brag a bit to my wife, walked in the door, opened my mouth but before I could utter a word she said............."You went to church with your fly down ? ".

Here I am

Here I am with my pup Porter. He is a neapolitan mastiff that sometimes ruins my plans of riding due to his need for affection and love.

Real Name: Al

*Where do you live? Brea, California, which is in Northern Orange County.

*Explanation of your forum handle: When I first started practicing law, I admired the guys who were "of counsel" at large law firms. They seemed to have less pressure to produce clients than partners did, yet were too valuable to cast aside or let go.

*Explanation of your avatar: Just a pic of my rainbows and unicorn socks.

*Age (General or specific): 46

*Occupation: Attorney, I'm an in-house attorney focusing on environmental and land use law for a major corporation in Downtown LA

*How did you find the Paceline?: I can't recall.

*Favorite Bike. 1987 Bianchi X-4

*What’s in your stable?: 13' Cannondale Synapse Carbon; Trek Rumblefish, Niner Air 9 RDO.

*Fastest speed on your bike? Where? When? 158 mph, but on my motorcycle. I've probably never been above 45mph on a bicycle.

*How many miles did you ride last year? About 1800 mi, most all of it MTB.

*Picture of yourself, your ride, or both together. Well, not completley following rules, but here's a pic of me with my wife and son.



*What is the biggest lie you ever told? I expressed proficiency in chemistry to get a job as a lab tech at a foam factory while in college. I was so NOT proficient, but figured out enough of it along the way to keep the job.
