History:

Started riding in 2010 then turned it up in 2011 to only have to quit riding and go back to school for my degree. It's now 2013, though I got a late start, I'm back in the saddle and riding better than ever. Hope to increase my mileage every year.

2011 Trek 5.2 Madone
Road bike
Description:  This is full carbon bike purchased after riding a cross bike on the road for a year and wanting something faster. I love the bike but am having issues with the bottom bracket and wearing out bearings. It is on its fourth set of bearings including the originals. Bearings replaced at 1000, 2300, and 2900 miles.

Added a Selle Anatomica X at mile 3736. Looking forward to putting many miles on the saddle.


5th set of Bearings replaced again at 5223 miles.


Lifetime Odometer: 5,235.5 miles

Cyclocross Road bike
Description:  After a not so good mtn bike experience I thought I would buy a cross bike and enjoy some of the areas flatter trails. This bike is well equipped for flat trails. However, I joined a road bike club and changed the tires out for something smaller and faster which led me to my carbon fiber road bike above. I have since replaced the road bike tires for gravel grinder tires which are mentioned below.

Swapped out tires to Continentals Cyclocross Speed in 2013.

Had bottom bracket serviced for squeak at 985.51

Installed wheels from from road bike at 1113.32

Hardtail XC 29er Mtn bike
Description:  Yellow and heavy, this was my first bike purchase since I was a young lad. I thought mountain bike would be fun so off I went to the nearest mtn bike trail not realizing is was a semi professional course and I had no experience. By looking at the odometer for this bike, it is obvious I hated mtn biking.

Lifetime Odometer: 32.3 miles
No planned events for 2024
