Biographical sketch: I have always loved cycling.
My hometown is home to the Longsjo Classic, grew up watching guys like Davis Phinney,
Lance, Tyler Hamilton race on my streets. After college I bought a bike and went to a local
ride, all 230+ pounds of me crammed into spandex. Got some odd looks and was told
that the gym was down the street. Have been racing to prove people wrong ever since. |
