| About Me: |
I'm married, with 3 kids (all boys). I'm a web developer and graphics designer. I also used to be in a band as a drummer and self-appointed PR man (everyone else was shy enough when not on the stage). What else? Just ask and I'll try to answer :)
|
| My Equipment: |
Fuji Outland Pro
|
| Why I Sport: |
At first I started riding to keep fit. I didn't have any form of exercise before this. When I got to experience biking again (last time was when I was still a kid) I enjoyed the exercise and the fact I can go to fairly far places on my own power -- and now I enjoy experiencing new trails. As much as possible I prefer to bike from home.
|
| Goals: |
I plan to join as many XC races as I can and ride as many different trails as I can. If I get sponsored then my chances of doing these goals would become larger :)
|
| Strengths: |
Perseverance. In the first race I joined there were a few loooong, muddy, gradual uphill sections where everyone I can see were walking and pushing their bikes but I opted to try and ride it all the way, and I succeeded :)
I am also sure the group I ride with will vouch for my perseverance and dedication.
|
| Weaknesses: |
According to a friend who I asked: speed during uphills. I'm more of a spinner when climbing, this helps me preserve my energy.
