In His Own Words:
People do what people do and I am just happy to be here at all is one of my favorite sayings, as quoted from the folk singer Todd Snider. I am a comedian at heart and love to make people smile. I seek a simple smile from those who least suspect it. Riding and training on my bicycling is a way for me to enjoy the outdoors and maintain my fitness. I love good nutrition and realizing training successes. I pursue balance between racing and living. I enjoy passing on what I know to others. When I’m motivated there is no stopping me. If you are the old lady in a grocery store, look out! I’m going to make you smile!
