My name is Ernest and I'm 43 years old. I chose Big_e as my forum name because my friends call me Big_E but at 5'7, I'm not that big at all.

I started biking about 2 years ago now and lost alot of weight because of it. My goal is to be able to ride in and complete centuries and longer rides. To this end I have signed up with RUSA and Lone Star Randonneurs. I've completed one metric century so far and it was a Populaire (no membership to the club required).

I'm a city employee with the city of Dallas and have about 7 more years until I can retire. I've been flirting with the plan of opening a coffeehouse but still need to settle some financial matters.

I'm single and live with my three dogs Daisy, Mojo and Blinky.
