Best crash:

I was riding my bike to work one summer and hit a pothole, flipped over my handle bars, nearly got hit by a car pulling out of a gas station, and landed on my head.  I got up, realized that my shoulder really hurt, but was more worried about the fact that the seat was no longer attached to my bike and my front wheel was taco'ed.  I had to walk the rest of the way to work and when I got there I checked in a mirror and realized that I had split my chin open all the way down to the bone...had to get it glued back together at the hospital

Favorite thing about PSU Cycling: Its nice to have so many other people around who are also just as crazy about bikes as I am

Other Interests: skiing, music, camping, fishing, hiking etc, etc.

Quote: "When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear."
