Grab bag: I did mtb racing back when there was no suspension and mud was fun.
I enjoy introducing cycling, hiking, swimming to my 8 year old son Lars and doing Sprint triathlons.
I'd like to be a better road rider and a do a half-triathlon when I turn 50 next year.
The Velo Bellas is a wonderful idea and has sparked some real interest in our area. We have great girls.
