- Favorite Places To Ride
- The FOMBA trails in southern New Hampshire and MT. Agamaticus in southern Maine. I am definitely an east coast kid, I just love the technical, rocky, rooty trails we have here.
- Best Thing About Being A Demo Team Member
- Being part of a large group of people who live the cycling lifestyle. I get to be around people all day that are doing what they love and when they have to go back to work on Monday I am off to another event.
- Craziest Demo Experience
- It has to be the Trek 100 in Wisconsin. We launched the all-new Trek Madone to the media and the top dealers in the world. Then we have the big ride at the end of the week with over 3,000 people! This year it down poured during the ride and let's just say it got a little nasty out there. It's tons of fun but it's also a whole lot of early mornings and late nights!
- Favorite Product
- Gary Fisher Rig. No gears and a carbon rigid fork makes your everyday trails seem brand new. It's like an overgrown bmx bike. Did I mention 29" wheels?
