In My Own Words
I spend my off-season doing: Basketball
My goals and expectations for 2010 are: Improve as a racer, try to help everyone on the team get at least one podium, Hopefully win ToAD again if all goes well
I started racing because: I’m competitive and cycling is probably the sport I’m most suited for
My cycling mentors and/or influences are: Gus Juffer, Dave Ryther, Ron Knaflic, Matt Yerke, Dan Ajer
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: Winning Wheels on Willy with an out of nowhere attack with one lap to go
The on thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again: Crashing a new carbon bike ghosting it home after purchasing
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Play and discuss basketball
