Spending most free time getting my newest venture up and running - The Human Bean coffee shop in Hillsboro. Been able to squeeze in some riding - some PIR in ‘07 (finally learning how to sprint), most of the CX season, and now putting in the neglected and much needed miles.

As for racing...it’s been a while since I’ve taken it seriously. Had some decent results in triathlons in HS and college, then found beer and girls and racing sort of derailed for longer than I’d like to admit. Raced mt bikes while living in Utah (90-97-sucked at the racing, but the riding was awesome!) and then found cross after returning to PDX. This is morphing into what I hope are some good road results (shorter road races and crits).

How long have you been riding? Racing: off and on last 15 yrs...mostly off. Riding: since I built a take-off and landing ramp to jump my Panda BMX bike (w/ yellow plastic 3-spoke wheels!) and a huge (at least it looked huge) pit in between, plus some neighbor kids lined up laying on their backs as added incentive to clear the jump.
