History:

Recreational Rider looking to keep improving.

Riding for Several Years - Started riding the Taco Ride on Thursday night back in 2000 and migrated into a road bike rider -have ridden RAGBRAI 11 times - Three times with the USAF cycling team. I plan to keep riding RAGBRAI until I get to old to ride.

More of a social rider than Racer, I do have some speed. (Giant Calves) Like to ride with groups enjoy the social part of riding.
This Will be My 11th Time doing RAGBRAI (In a Row) -- Going to be a great Year this Year (2013)

Bought a single Speed Bike last fall and am loving it. Have ridden it a few times and I seem to be able to keep up with regular road bikes so far.
