ABOUT…

I grew up in the corn fields of Northern Ohio, USA before having the opportunity to study and race bicycles in England in the late 80’s where I lived for 17 years before moving to Spain for the past 14 years.

I discovered cycling through triathlons, always a keen swimmer and runner my weakest area was cycling. Like most kids I used my bike for transport and never previously rode more than a few neighborhood miles. After acquiring my first road bike, a shiny chromoly Raleigh I trained like crazy for a few months for my first triathlon and I was hooked forever. University provided me with access to club rides which soon became team rides and racing. Now I'm fully fledged cycling nerd, I watch, listen, read and sometimes even dream about it!  I try to ride around 7000-8000 miles a year between riding in Charlotte and home in Spain.
