From: Redding, California

Bikes: Trek 5200, Specialized MTB

Worst moment:
Getting hit by a pickup while I was riding 40 mph. Thankfully, I had no broken bones, and "bounced back" after a few months.

Good moments:

3 new bikes! A Trek Madone 5.5 SL (part of the insurance settlement from my accident...but, it's a tough way to get a new bike!). And I did my own builds for a new time trial bike, and a dedicated touring bike/commuter.

132 days commuting to work (1900 miles total).

Great moments:

Winning 4 medals at the Huntsman World Senior Games (Bronze - Hill Climb, Silver - Time Trial, Gold - Crit, Gold - Road Race), thus earning the overall victory in Men's 55-59 Division II (Experienced).



I also met a really nice long-legged blond runner/triathlete at the Senior Games in Utah, and we've been seeing each other since then (we're meeting in Death Valley for New Year's).


For 2008, I plan on entering 3 or 4 senior games, in hopes of qualifying for the National Senior Games in San Francisco in 2009.
