I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I love to race bikes. Mountain bikes, road, cyclocross, all of it. I used to ride trials, I can ride a unicycle, I can fix your bike, and I REALLY like ice cream. I'm a Catergory 2 elite level roadie and an Expert/Semi-Pro mt. biker.
I like to attack, whether or not it's in my best interest. I like it when the road goes up. Fast crits with fast corners and a blitzkrieg sprint, please.
And I collect designer toys.

My Interests

I ride my bike fast. I like to look at the sun, and collect sunshine. I like to walk in the woods. I climb rocks in the winter. I listen to good hip-hop. My favorite color is yellow.
Let's go out laughing tonight, it'll be more fun than a stick in the eye and twice as good looking.
I'm a dreamer. And a part time schemer.
I like my living situation. And I've probably owned more cars than you have since I started to drive. I'm learning to wheelie my road bike, I've been a bike mechanic for the past 7 years, and yes, I CAN ride the unicycle in my shed.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone.
At least once...

Schedule of events upcoming:
Alright... the first taste of races for 2007. Things are looking good.
tentative schedule is as follows:

March: Central Valley Classic NRC (CA), Bethel Training series (CT)

April: More Bethel (CT), Battenkill Roubaix (NY), Sturbridge (MA), Palmer (MA)

May: Bike Jam NRC (MD), Ricmond NRC (VA), Bear Mt. (NY), Jiminy Peak (MA), Tour De Gila NRC (NM)

Movies:

I have Netflix, and I haven't seen a good movie in months. My taste must SUCK.
Brokeback Mountain was pretty great though.

Television:

Kill your Television... ride a bike. Keep your television around if you really want to for such entertaining programs likes, Mythbusters, Beyond Everest, Dirty Jobs, Top Chef, and obviously, some good ol' fashion meaner n' hell Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Books:

The Gang That Wouldn't Write Straight. A history of modern journalism/New Journalism, Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson and that whole era, awesome.
this book has since gone missing before I could finish it. So I started Catch-22, which has also since gone missing before I could finish it. Magazines until they return from whereever they went off to.

Heroes:

I'm pretty stoked on Chris Douglas right now... he's in my friends section, give him a shout.

Mt Washington...

Per usual I wanted a catchy subject line, but really, nothing would do this ride justice.This past Saturday (8/19) was the Mt. Washington Hillclimb. When I had originally signed up for it on February...
