Once a proud Member of the "Purple Helmeted Love Warriors"; Mens Vet Champions of the 24 Hours of Tahoe-2002; 2nd place 2003. I have once again raised my special purpose in life to go solo and thrust myself into the solitude and darkness, penetrating the frigid Utah desert (along with hundreds of others) and prove that my old team mates are whimps.  Except for Kerry; he is racing too.
