  • Category 4 Road (Sel-proclaimed “cat 5″)
  • 36 year old food sales rep. Married, no kids. Runner who has discovered how much more fun riding is….Started doing centuries. Realized that the folks on road bikes were moving faster. Decided to trade the comfort of the couch like seat and the convenience of a kick stand for the speed of a road bike. Bought the road bike in 06-07. Still getting used to the clips but having a blast. I have been considered slow my whole life…I was thrown out at first base from right field in a softball game…people had better 3 legged race times on field day than my 50 yard dash time…etc.When I discovered I could make a bike move pretty fast, I was elated! Decided to give racing a try. Had the time of my life at Froze Toes.Looking forward to doing more. THRILLED to be on the team. That’s it.
