I started mountain biking when I was 12. Growing up in Colorado I had some of the best trails in the world literally out my back door so biking has always been a large part of my hobby-life. I raced MTBs through high school, rode some track at the Velodrome in C-Springs but fell off the serious racer horse in college. In college it was all about utility cycling, and as a poor student couldn't afford gas (nor did I have any need to drive far). I biked everywhere through college. My college career was long-ish, taking me from 1999 to winter 2006 with many breaks between. I kept biking, even during the breaks. It was always the easiest way to get around the small towns I tended to gravitate towards. Spring 2007 brought my first child and with her my first "real" job in corporate 'merica. My commute has taken a more serious tone, but I'm still bikin'!
