I have been racing mountain bikes for about 15 years.  I started back in Canada in the typical NORBA races.  Got hooked on 24 hours bike races.  My first 24 hour race was in Ontario, Canada about 10 years ago.  Not knowing what to expect at the beginning we put together a corporate team of 9 riders with varying levels of expertise and fitness.  I kept adding to challenge and two years ago my four men team won the National Championship at Laguna Seca, CA.  This year I am part of an unplanned Duo Pro team at Moab, the Mecca of Mountain Biking.
