The freedom and
independence it offers as well as the physical and mental challenge when you push yourself outside your comfort zone.
Anything else about you we should know?
I commute, grocery shop, return library books, drop
off kids at school by bike. Oh, and I race bikes. I like them all but I like racing the most. I compete in the Wisconsin Off-Road Series (WORS), Wisconsin Endurance Mountain Bike
Series (WEMS) and National Ultra Endurance (NUE) series. I like the long-format races, I have a few on the calendar already for next race season.

What do you like best about bicycling?
I like that I

Donovan Bridge on a busy Saturday morning.
