In My Own Words

I spend my off-season doing:  All the things that never seem to get done during the summer months.
My goals and expectations for 2012 are:  To gain lots of Team Criterium experience, get Winkel or Froh (if he decides to ride with us) a couple of wins, and improve my Cross results.
I started racing because:  Riding my bike was great off-season work for hockey training when I was younger, and I couldn’t just ride my bike without a goal to work towards.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are:  Greg Lemond, after all, his in-laws were my neighbors as I grew up.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: When I made the commitment to get back on it regularly four years ago.
The one thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again:  A 60 minute critical power test.  I wonder why nobody bothered to tell me that you can get the same data from a 20 minute test until after I was already finished?
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Explore different recovery methods.
Something you probably don’t know about me is:  Salty over Sweet every time!
