Race Category:  Elite
What races in 2007:
Occupation: City of Madison Firefighter
Mountain Bike: 2006 Giant Anthem 1 full suspension XC with XTR/SRAM X.0 groupo
Years Racing: Many, about 11
Training/Racing Tip: Have FUN above all other training goals.  Cycling is a life-long passion and journey.  Be consistent in your training.  Riding and/or training 5-6x's a week with your longer rides on the weekends will enhance your performance much more than being a "weekend warrior."
Favorite Trail/Race: Favorite place to ride: Durango, Colorado; Favorite race: 24 Hours (of pleasure riding) Solo at Wausau
Hobbies other than cycling: Training for my first Ironman on Sept 9^th, 2007 in Madison.  Come cheer!  I love hanging out with friends and family up north at the lake, traveling, trying new recipes, kayaking, canoeing, and sitting by the campfire for lone chats.
Other: 2007 will be my second voyage on the GRABAAWR Tour.  Touring Wisconsin is beautiful and the GRABAAWR has much to offer for sight-seeing and ease of touring.
