been riding my whole life: from bmx to Mt bike trials, mountain biking before full suspension, tons of road years, a few track seasons, much more mt. bike racing with a few top finishes.  I prefer endurance rides, as I seem to do well.  I'm building a time trial road frame to go after the one-hour record.  My dream ride is to ride across the Australian desert in a full-fairing recumbent - unaided.
