What inspires you to compete?
1. Competiting establishes a benchmark within each respective category. It gives the rider something to aspire to.
2. I enjoy meeting new people from different places and backgrounds. Races are a great place to meet people that will become lifelong friends.
Why do you like this sport?
I love the mountains....the outdoors. Having grown up on/around bicycles, I feel at home in the saddle. Combining the two makes for one of my favorite activities.
Describe your style...
I am working on the style. I like Cedric Gracia's style. I'd like to think that one day I may be able to imitate him in the slightest, but I'm not holding my breath.
