Greatest Cycling Achievement(s): It wasn’t a race but I’d say just surviving the Quadzilla Hella Mega in Bellingham.  That’s a ride I will never forget!

If you could only have one bike for the rest of your life what would it be? A mid travel 29er.  On the road the last few years, I was always surprised how versatile my Transition Sentinel was, even the short travel smuggler really got through a lot.  It blows me away how good bikes are these days!
