History:

Watched my brother-in-law do a few mountain bike races and thought that looked like fun. So I started riding an old bike we had around the neighborhood. Then in May 2002, I bought my first mountain bike. It was my brother-in-law’s old bike that I had watched him race on. Rode it all summer with my brother-in-law teaching me how to ride in the woods. It was great fun, but a lot of crashing and Oh Ssss ing going on. The more I rode the better I felt. After about 4 months of riding I quit smoking! Second best thing I ever did. First being smart enough to marry my wife! Had my first mountain bike race in September of 2002, took 5th place and was on my way. Raced the next spring NORBA series and took 2nd place in the beginner level. Got a road bike during that time and started riding more and more to build up endurance. Stopped racing because of the travel, time and expense. Started riding with CCC in 2004. Have in enjoyed watching the club grow over the last few years. I try to do a few rallies and a few local races every year, but most of all "Just Enjoy The Ride!"
