I have been riding Mountain Bike for @20 years now-off and on. It is an extension of me and what I think is valuable. I have a reverence for the Creation, Life, outdoors. From the Cosmos, I love the stars and I have always enjoyed playing with a microscope. Mountain biking connects me to the here and now, to my environment and to people enjoying the same "confines, wherever they might be.

Mountain biking is different than just bike riding. Commuting and running errands is saving a buck on gas and thinking that my carbon footprint just got a hair smaller. Road riding is half lived in few of what is behind me. Mountain Biking is opening up to what is out there and what can I do to be part of it. I grab for life and adventure.

Mountain biking is where I extend who I am and my love for this world. This is a great place in spite of sharp rocks!
