I live in Raleigh, NC and have been here since 2000 after graduating from University of Florida.
Was a competitive runner for 11 yrs. I got bored of running (ie plateau'd and couldnt get off it plus my stack of commemorative running T-shirts was a real PITA to move) when I moved to NC and tried cycling.
I had won numerous triathlons in FL and always rode mtn bikes and did the Team Florida group rides, so it was an easy transition. This is my 6th season racing and I think I am good enough to keep on racing.
(Now that looks like
Gene Expression to me... Ed)
Dislikes: Going up hill, training and riding my bike for more than 2 hrs. And, oh yeah, going up hill, cold weather, little chainring riding, people with focused training plans, cyclists that have nothing else going on in their lives besides riding (oh you know who you are!). Tub girl, squid, or bottle man (nuff said about that).
Likes: sitting on the couch drinking beer. Spending money on frivolous stuff (gonna rob a jewelry store and get me a grill). Occasionally bike racing. Driving teammates crazy.
Best result: Once doing a 5.5 hr ride. It was crazy being on a bike that long.
Season goals: Ride 3000 miles this year and maybe beat some pros in a bike race or two.
Favorite Quote: Diamonds, She'll pretty much have to.

Now, you can't say I didn't warn you first. Is it me, or did it just get funny in here?
