Best memory from 2004 race season:
My favorite memory is watching Mark Poore washing himself in the Ocoee river after a race and suddenly being washed away with the rapids. The miracle is he made it out alive.
Hardest lesson ever learned on a bike:
Eat enough before a race - Lest you bonk. Last year in the McNinnville race I did not get enough to eat before the race. About 5 miles before the finish I hit the wall. I suffered like a mad dog. I was seeing visions and they were not pretty. It will never happen again.
Favorite bike:
Cannondale Six13
Favorite race:
Avery Trace \endash Road; Tanasi Challenge - Mtn Bike
Favorite ride:
My favorite ride is to descend Mill Creek Road to Hwy 84. This is a beautiful stretch of road. Once you get to hwy 84, turn right and ascend 3.5 miles to Monterey. This is one of my favorite climbs.
