WHY DO YOU RIDE: I love racing, and normally enjoy riding. I can't get over the rush of a good track race, or a really fun MTB ride.

MOST HELPFUL TRAINING TIP: Ride when you want to.

FAVE BIKE SHOP: Ben's

FAVE BEER/DRINK: Bell's Two Hearted Ale, although that's a tough one. I can't necessarily single one out, but if I have to... and Hendriks and tonic.

MOST FLATS IN ONE RIDE: 2 in one lap at Blue Mounds after no flats the entire season before that race. No flats afterwards either. Blue Mounds is cursed (for many reasons).

FAVE RIDING STYLE: Off the front.

MY FIRST BIKE WAS: I don't remember

I WISH I NEVER SOLD MY: cross bikes, but only because I want to ride one today. It'll be fine by the time cross rolls around.
