In My Own Words

I spend my off-season doing: Computrainer, Downhill Skiing, Yoga, Overall Core Strenght Training, Rock/Wall Climbing.
My goals and expectations for 2012 are: Compete in 12+ Criterium & Raod Races. Place in the top 5 overall WCA points in Masters 45+ Cat 4/5. Win One!
I started racing because: Fitness & Overall Health, I love to bike.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are: The guys that ride who are safe, love the sport, and encourage everyone who rides, regardless of ability, to just keep riding.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: The “zen” days on the bike.
The one thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again: Bomb from the top of Grand Dads Bluff in LaCrosse passing cars and taking the blind corner at the bottom way too tight. I was young, stupid, and lucky…
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Hang with the kids and grandkids.
Something you probably don’t know about me is: I am a good cook.
