BUT, he does have a sweet mullet and an incredible mustache.
I did a few races against Jeff Shalk (pro mtb w/Trek) when I was a 4. I kept wondering who was the dude on the front laying down the wicked pace that no one could come around, I think it kind of cool to have been racing against that level fitness in a rider.
