WHY DO YOU RIDE: Wind in our hair, changing scenery, we like pain, shaved legs look good, and beer tastes better

RIDING OR RACE RELATED SUPERSTITIONS: Do not eat yogurt (or dairy for that matter) before a race. Wear the same clothes throughout, no changing. Always carry Werther butterscotch candies. And NEVER look over your shoulder.

DUMBEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE ON A BIKE: Pee'd during a race NO handed. Supido, and messy. My bike never forgave me.

MOST HELPFUL TRAINING TIP: Don't forget a chain tool, and a cell phone. Not necessarily in that order.

FAVE BIKE SHOP: Discovery, Hood River, OR

MOST INSPIRATIONAL RIDER RIGHT NOW: John Tomac - the man, the myth, the legend.

FAVE BAND: Coldplay. U2. It's a toss up.

BEST THING BOUGHT ON EBAY: 1967 Mustang Fastback

PREDICTION FOR THE TOUR WINNER IN 2006: Whomever doesn't get caught doping.

VEGGIE OR CARNIVORE: Depends on our mood.
