Ride Bikes

I don't have a car. I have some bikes instead, and they get me where I need to go. I started a bike gang with a few of my friends a few years ago and one of these days, Faster Mustache is going to take over the world. In 2009, I raced a full season of XC mountain bike racing and a full season of velodrome racing with FM:Race to decide which one I liked better. In 2010 I plan on focusing on track racing and do a bit of mountain biking for fun. Sometimes I run.

2010 Schedule

  • Mountain biking every Tuesday night, except nights with sprint/pursuit at the track
  • Track racing every Wednesday night
  • Road ride every Thursday night
