Have been riding mountain bikes since 1984. Did a few mountain bike races in the 80's - raced expert, did well. Last year race in the 24 Hours of Temecula and the 24 Hours of Idllwild on Russ Worley's (the ex-Yeti Pro) teams. Raced well in the team format, but now want to get back to my ultra-distance roots and explore 24-hour solo mtb. racing. Since 1985 have operated Carrizo Bikes in Borrego Springs, CA. I know bikes!
