About Me:

I am a 45 year old, old dude who loves bikes and racing. I suck at racing but I don't let that stop me. In 2009 I lost 160 pounds and owe my life to cycling. I was a CAT 2 racer in my 20's and am just happy to be racing and riding and having a blast. My super power is never giving up. I love my wife of 16 years and have a very cool 15 year old son who is a gentleman and a very kind, giving and generous young man.

Current Bike Collection:

Kona Major One, Cervelo Soloist Carbon, Cervelo S2 and Gary Fisher hard tail MTB. I have ordered a Kona Major Jake and sould have it in the next two - three weeks.

Favorite Race:

Tour de' France. Of course I have never raced in it. Oh and any night at the Redmond Velodrome. Real racing at a local level several times a week. I get to see the hearts of champions weekly and I love it.

Dream Bike:

Hmmm... To many to list. But I'll say Cervelo S5 and a Moots custom cross bike.

Favorite thing about cyclocross:

Mud, cold, beer and lack of douche bags.

How long have you been racing cyclocross?

1 year. 2011 will be my second season.

Racing category:

weekend warrior, singlespeed
