Q&A - Personal

Some Personal Information About Me:

I am 33 years old and living in Jackson, MI. I have really gotten back into riding hardcore the last few years, but I have been riding for over 20years. I have 3 stepsons and a daughter that ride occasionally with me. Most of them have tried racing so far. I really hope that at least one of them will get the bug though and start riding more with me.

Music?

Everything from country to metal. I don't really care. I don't listen to music while riding though. I would rather hear the natural sounds while riding the trail.

Describe your style...

What Style??

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Training is something that I will really be hitting harder this year. I just developed a new race team for my mountain biking chapter. We have about 20 committed riders so far. We are planning some indoor winter training rides, but I also just picked up a SS to hit the trails with. This spring I fully expect to be ready for the first race of the year, unlike last year.

Why do you compete?

Competing just became the next level basically by progression. It was something I hadn't tried yet, but wanted to. Now I am addicted to it. The first season went really well considering I was really out of shape and the year before I didn't get to ride due to other commitments. This year I plan to do the entire MMBA CPS series along with a few additional TT's and local races. I will top it all off with Iceman.

  Thanks for the props on my pics. I grew up in the Jackson area! AND I just helped the MMBA build a trail in the Island Lake Rec Area a few weeks ago. Small world. Good luck this season!
