Good friends of mine got me into the sport. After my first time on a trail, I was hooked. I used to hike and backpack in my younger years and I like to say mountain biking is like hiking only faster, more dangerous and a whole lot of FUN! I like anything that is fast, dangerous and fun!
I started and finished my first race while Tropical Depression Ike cause wide spread havoc in the state of Indiana.2 inches of rain and 60 mile an hour winds.
I would like to do more races in the DINO series. Each time bettering my last performance. I would also like to try my first 24 horo solo. In Road Cycling I am aiming to do RAIN (Ride Across INdiana) as well as the Great Finger Lakes Bicycle Tour.
It makes me feel like a kids again. Being on my bike allows me to have fun. It allows me to only focus on where I want to go instead of where I don't want to go. Rule for the ride-rule for life
I don't get embarrassed. I love to laugh and if you can't laugh at yourslef, you take life to seriously.
Everything. From old country like Johnny and Willie to new stuff like Nickleback and Maroon 5 and all thats in between.
I love the thrill of competition. I love finishing something that is hard or physically exhusting. I love bettering my performance. I love MTB
A grown-up. Go figure.
