In My Own Words

I spend my off-season doing: Home projects, family time.
My goals and expectations for 2012 are: Stronger sprinting in crit finishes, More teamwork in road events, Solid efforts in Masters 1/2/3 CX.
I started racing because: How would I ever know what I’m capable of if I don’t test myself?
My cycling mentors and/or influences are: My father and my brother.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: I expect it will occur on my next ride.
The one thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again: Wonder if I could have done more.
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Fill out biographical questionnaires for team websites.
Something you probably don’t know about me is: For some reason, most people seem to think I’m more serious than I think I am.
