Favorite Race:

My all-time favorite is madison racing which I did many years ago but cross runs it a close second.

All my bikes are my dream bikes.

Favorite thing about cyclocross:

The guys who cut you up in crits and hook you in the sprints are your best friends and very helpful in cross. A totally different atmosphere.

How long have you been racing cyclocross?

I did cross many, many years ago and did well until the federation began to send riders to the cross worlds. Then others began to get serious about it and I began to get my butt kicked!
