I love cycling and racing. I love the physical challenge and the friendships made.
That’s difficult to answer. I love riding my road bike, but probably have the most fun on my cyclocross bike. It is perfect for exploring fire roads.
Lapped the field at Greenville Twighlight with Frankie Andreu from the 7-Eleven team. When I was younger, I won many races including southeastern collegiate championships (RR, Crit, Kilo), state championships and also 5th at Masters Nationals RR. But Greenville stands out because it was one of the very first Pro12 races I did and the field was filled with stars. It is by far favorite cycling memory.
A dog. They co-evolved with man and they are survivors.
I came close to drowning in 2000. Decided I needed to learn to swim and the next year I completed a half ironman.
I used to drink 2+ liters of coca cola ever day.
I am terrified of insects but enjoyed eating them in Thailand.
Be consistent with training (500 hrs) (on track)
Race frequently (10+ races) (9 so far)
Race placings (1x top 5, 2x top 10)
Finish season strong. If my fitness keeps improving, I would like to do a P12 race before end of year, possibly the Giro di SF.
