Years Racing: sporadic racing for over a decade; more regular/frequent/intense racing interest over the last 5 years

Favorite Race: the race I am involved in at that moment

Least Favorite Race: the last final miles of any race or any Granny Gear Race where there was mud

Greatest Race Memories: some Granny Gear 24 Hour events (Canaan, Moab, Donner Pass), Shenandoah Mountain 100, and the local small stuff can have a great vibe (i.e.. 12 Hours of Lodi Farms and the Wednesday at Wakefield)

Turn Offs: too many to list

Bike: 29″ wheel Surly Karate Monkey (rigid single speed/geared FS), Niner RIP 9(Dual 29er), Jamis Super Nova (CX)

Personal Motto: “ride it like you stole it” okay, I stole that motto….my own personal motto….”spirit and desire can compensate for lack of training”
