Favorite Trail: Anthills

Why I Mountain Bike: Rode in the eairly 90's and had great times. I'm not sure why I stopped. One day I was drivin through Memorial Park and saw two guys roll off Cambodia with big sh!t eattin grins on their faces. I was back at it the very next weekend. Glad to be back.

First Ride with Team Smack: Never done a team ride per say. I have riden with a few of the team members and I have met most of them. My first team smack encounter was with Dary. I repaired his chain on the trail one day and then tried to keep up with him for about an hour.

Number of Bikes in Garage: 3

Racing Class and Category: Never raced but 35-39 Beginner

Team: Planet Texas Racing

Why I Race: Its only a matter of time, and it will be to push myself to the limits and have a good time. I read all the stories and it just sounds like fun. The best of both worlds a solo sport in a team setting. What more could you ask for.
