History:
|
Fitness rider, commuter, and part-time roadie since 2002. I commute to downtown Chicago 3-4 days a week during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Weekends I like to do longer rides at local trails or Chicago's lakefront. I also enjoy organized rides and events. Interested in touring outside of the city pavement and beyond bike trails.
New for 2010 - Going on my FIRST RAGBRAI Woo Hoo! |
