About Me:

Work as a Purchasing Agent (Data Entry Goon is a more appropriate title) at a company in KCK, live in Lenexa over by Falcon Ridge Golf Course. Race MTB's primarily to stay in shape during the Spring and Summer, then it's all 'cross all the time for 4 months straight.

Current Bike Collection:

2 custom 3D Racing cross bikes, both identical components and setup with the expection of wheels. Primary bike has a hand-build wheelset with Dura-Ace rear hub, Zipp front hub, DT spokes, Mavic Open Pro rims, with Challenge Grifo clinchers, Pit bike wheels are Xero XR-1's with Michelin Mud's, both have mostly Ritchey components with Ultegra 9speed drivetrains, single 42t setup on both.

1 road bike: Windsor frame with PricePoint house brand components and Ultegra drivetrain, no cranks or no wheels (currently on my cx pit bike)

another road bike: Fetish Cycles frame with hodge podge of Ebay'd components. I left this bike in Italy so i wouldn't have to take one over every time.

Old Giant Cross bike with a collection of left-over crap. this bike was left in Italy a few years ago to have something I could steal parts off of.

Dream Bike:

A third 3D frame identical to my other 2, but steel instead of the Easton stuff.

Favorite thing about cyclocross:

Technical ability can often triumph over fitness. I'm not the fittest guy out there, but I can slip and slide my way past most guys on a slippery course.

How long have you been racing cyclocross?

4 years.
