In my own words:
I spend my off-season doing: What ever I feel like, GOSH.
My goals or expectations for the 2010 season: Race hard, have fun, be a good teammate
I started racing because: I’m not really sure
My cycling mentors and/or influences were/are: My father and Lee Venteicher
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: Along with Verhagen and Dez, helping lead out Sarge for sprint win at Stage 4 in TOAD series. And winning the MN State RR.
The one thing I’ve done on a bike that I will absolutely never do again: Not sure
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Read, write, drink coffee and beer (not at the same time) listen to music, run, hike and camp in the mountains, take pictures of fall colors, drive cross country, cook
