Thats me circa waaaay back in the day

I like all types of biking.  A zillion years ago I worked at a bike shop…stayed there for 7 years before moving on. I’m not going to lie…I’m slow and out of shape, but that doesn’t make me love biking any less, so I get out and do what I can. Currently running: Peugeot fixie, Giant Modem BMX, Mongoose Otero Super mountain, ancient GT Talera paved path destroyer.

Got back into biking early 2007 after being out of the saddle for about 10 years. While I was researching mountain bikes and gear I ruptured a disc in my neck. I went through the rehab thing for about 4 months, and as I was getting close to 100% I aggravated the ruptured disc a second time. This time wasn’t nearly as bad, so when i was offered the use of a friends mountain bike for a week while he was out of town, i literally jumped on it. I rode 6 straight days, even attempting to ride Carter’s Lake (http://fastermustache.org/node/5335). Well, although I caught the bug, I also really messed up my ruptured disc and was put back on the sidelines. I put myself back on the shelf for a few months to make sure i was healed 100%, then hit Craigslist. In late February I bought a 2006 Giant Anthem 2 , ‘nearly new’.

EDIT: Giant was STOLEN…no pic of new ride yet

Rode 3-4 times a week, sometimes more, until I made the stupid decision to ride on a wet trail. That decision led to a nasty spill that effed up my elbow and pulled me off the trails for 4 weeks. In that time I decided to invest in a rode bike, Craigslist was good to me yet again, I found (actually Graham found it) this Litespeed Ultimate, all Dura Ace components, etc.

A sweet ride for sure. Now I just ride as much as humanly possible, still partial to the trails, but as long as I’m on a bike I’m happy.

UPDATE! NEW RIDE!
