Hello, I'm CAPTAIN AMERICA. Today we are only 3 spots from each other. I see you are from Czech Rep. My grandparents are from Czech. Would you happen to know anyone with the last name of Zak???
My goal was 6,000 this year and am now pushing for 8,000. Getting cold and rainy here so riding has slowed down a great deal. I see you've passed your goal of 7,000. That's awesome! Ride On!

Hello Again from CAPTAIN AMERICA:
Thanks for getting back to me! Yeah, I've made the 100 mark and now have been holding 93 spot for about a week. Getting cold here. Rode today with temps at 40. BRRR. Good Luck on your MBA's. Sounds like you have a full work load. Remeber 'all work and no ride can make a guy cranky'!!! Thank you for asking your girlfriend about our ancestory. Look forward to hearing from you again! CAPTAIN AMERICA

History:

Going for my MBA as of Oct 2007 while working 55 hour weeks... and trying to spend time with my girlfriend when I get free time... so my bike is getting jealous.

Took nearly all of July & August 2008 off for vacationing.

1. ~~I don't do centuries.~~
2. I don't ride fast.
3. I don't ride slow.
4. Recumbents look weird.

-All of New England, New York, PA
-Colorado (Bolder & Colorado Springs)
-Georgia (northern mountains)
-Idaho (sandpoint mtb)
-Utah (mtb)
-Labrador (Trans-Labrador "Highway" not many people can say that)
-Newfoundland
-Czech Republic (Prague & Brno areas)
-Austria
-Southern France (Montpellier)
-Ottawa
