Live in Iowa City, Iowa (USA for the many who don't know where the hell Iowa is)

A smattering of amateur races what seems like 50 years ago. Now mainly a lover of loaded touring... and mountain biking when I want to torture my bad knees. 20 year rider of RAGBRAI, an annual 500 mile 10,000 person bar-to-bar week-long party fest across Iowa.

Professional parent it seems, with kids aged 22, 21, 8, and 4. Along with my wife, they are my life. Sorry, that was a fucking corny thing to type.

Below are my 3 bikes I ride the most, for anyone who gives a shit:

1997 Cannondale T1000 Touring... heavily modded and upgraded (becasue it is fun and shit breaks). Arkel Panniers, beer cooler, and a 12v Bose sound system for some party rides. ;-) Brooks saddle, of course.

2001 Santa Cruz Superlight... tricked out... way better mountain bike than I am a mountain bike rider... I should only deserve a hardtail.

1979 Raleigh Record converted to fixed gear town bike. This is my daily ride, and a bike with lots of history, now complete with custom wood fenders (thanks to Cody in Bend, OR).

Cheers to good beer and staying upright.
