History:

The more I bike, the more I like.

Started with a 1960's red Schwinn Tornado (newspaper route bike), moved to purple Schwinn Varsity (rode a century on it in 1970), next was a Nishiki International in college. After 30 years of not biking so much, bought a Trek 1200, then a Giant TCR-C2. Do 2 or 3 centuries per year and a couple of triathlons. In 2010, bought a Giant TranSend for full-time commuting, then a Surly LHT for touring. Have Brooks saddles on all bikes. During summer 2012 rode RAGBRAI for the 8th time and a nice tour of Colorado.
