Best Race Result: There really is no specific race that stands out. So...I will include my many 12 and 24 hour solo wins and podium appearances. Winning a 24 Hour race in Japan a few years back was a good one. As is winning the 24 Hours of Afton twice racing solo.

Why I ride: Because I like to gosh darn it!

Where I ride: All over the place! I am based out of Colorado, so 80% of my rides take place there.

I ride when: I want to. Lucky me, my job requires it and lets me.

When I'm not riding I'm: Surfing the web, resting, drinking coffee, helping run Ergon USA.

This year, I want to: continue my trend of wearing a different T6 t-shirt everyday of the week all year long.

You should really try: to include more sushi in your diet.....as well as coffee.

If you're ever in my area, check out: the million micro-breweries. I don't drink, but everyone else says they are good.

I predict that ________ will win ________: I predict that I will win lifetime supply of Captain Crunch in some weird contest at some point in my life.

The 3 websites I check everyday are: MTBR, Facebook, Cyclingnews...and not in that order.

The cycling world needs more: Low priced entry fees and US National events held outside of CA.

Would you believe me if I told you: I don't like beer or a glass of milk.
