My Steed: 2006 Pinarello F4:13, 2003 Specialized Allez Comp, 1999 Litespeed Ocoee
Why I started biking: 1st time, Santa Claus brought me one. 2nd time, new-fangled mountain bikes looked cool in the early 90's... and I had a credit card.
Favorite bike ride: Région Bourgogne, FR (vineyards and villages, a real “pinch me, is this real?” kind of place).
Greatest accomplishment: Nothing of my own accord, but “… all things through Christ who strengthens me.”Phillippians 4:13 (F4:13)
Strangest bike setup ever seen: 20" Duster with banana seat, homemade chopper fork, and 8" front wheel. Chopper fork fabricated by cutting the crown off two identical forks and slipping/hammering two additional legs onto each leg of the first fork. Real precision work!
Dream Bike: The one that won the last race.
Highest recorded 'on-bike' speed/ location: 58.2 mph - western descent of Hogpen Gap.
