How and when did you get into bike racing? Kyle and I bought bikes for RAGBRAI in 2005 and decided it would be a good idea to try racing at the start of 2006. 2 road bikes, 2 mountain bikes and a cross bike later, I am still at it.

What would you consider your best strengths as a cyclist? Suffering and crashing gracefully.

What is your most shining moment on a bike? Climbing the Mortirolo without puking one day and climbing the Stelvio from 2 sides the next.

Most embarrassing moment on a bike?  OTB on the second log at the State Cross Race because I was too lazy to get off and run them, crashing in front of the 1st barrier at Jingle Cross during the UCI Race, need I continue?

When off the bike, what can we often find you doing?  Listening to Kyle ramble about bike parts and bikes we should buy, studying, and playing with Maddie, our pup.
