Female, older than I care to remember, cycling fan. Now living in Mainz, next to the Rhine, good cycling and good wine - maybe too much of the latter.

Social and recreational cyclist only these days, but I'm lucky enough to live in an area where everybody cycles and there is an excellent network of cycle routes. I can get pretty much everywhere I want to go without spending more than about 200m on roads.

Other interests include walking in the Alps (used to be climbing, but alas those days have gone) and Ballroom and Latin dancing.

Job - freelance project management consultant and I take photographs.

Cycling likes - really steep mountains and anyone who attacks.

A Fan Of...
