About Me:

Grad student and bike nut. Developmental neurobiology, cyclocross, and good hoppy Northwest beer keep me going.

Current Bike Collection:

'Cross bike: Surly Cross-check, misty grey, with lots of stickers and pink bar tape. Also serves as my rain bike and my commuter (most of the time).

Serotta tri-colorado - not for 'cross! Set up kind of old school right now, but would love to modernize it and TT the shit out of it.

MTB Xtracycle conversion - the car replacement. Hauls groceries, kids (if I had 'em), bike parts... most recently, hauled a set of rollers.

Sekai fixed gear commuter - currently out of commission due to stripped BB spindle.

Favorite Race:

Gonna go with Battle Creek Cross, 11/8/08 in Salem, OR. Fast and muddy!

Dream Bike:

Custom ox-plat steel frame; SRAM gruppo; and stupid fast wheels

Favorite thing about cyclocross:

Mud, guts, and glory.

How long have you been racing cyclocross?

Racing category:
