Ever won?: I was lucky enough to win some singlespeed races back in 2000, some 12 and 24 hour stuff over the years but not a whole lot of luck racing by myself. Maybe this year but I say that every year.

Fave place to ride: Gambrill/Shed but I just don’t get out there enough. Santa Cruz still has the best trails I’ve ever ridden.

Fave place to race: Big Bear, WV; SM100 or anywhere with the good people of DCMTB who haven’t asked me to leave the team… yet…

Fave people to see at the race: My kids and wife. They always seem to enjoy watching me climb into the pain cave at races.

Bikes: 08 Stump Pro Carbon (sexy brown), 07 Enduro sl, 2000 Phil Wood KISS OFF single, 1995 Bontrager Race Lite, Santana Visa Tandem, Masi roadie.
