My Steed: "La Poderosa" Cannodale Six13

Why I started biking: At the time it was my only means of transportation.

Favorite bike ride: Six-Gap Century in Dahlonega, GA

Greatest accomplishment: Graduating from University of Florida, B.S. in Civil Engineering.

Strangest bike setup ever seen: A lawnmower engine mounted on the frame with the gas tank under the saddle. As I rode past it, the guy was fueling the tank. I did one of those double take looks, and gave him thumbs up.

Dream Bike: Ridley Noah...It's all about the sprint finish.

Highest recorded 'on-bike' speed/ location: I am not sure about the highest recorded speed but I can certainly tell you about the highest recorded average speed. At the 2006 Horse Farm 100, we (a group of 20) completed the first 53 miles in 2:00 hrs, an average speed of 26.5 mph.
