I love racing! Long epic solo training rides are awesome too.

Best ride ever?

The riding the back roads from Medford up to the Ski Lodge at Mount Ashland is pretty sweet. Also I like riding from Medford, up Steerling Creek past Woodrat out to Applegate Lake and back. The Lakes Loop is awesome when there isn’t snow.

I’d like to see an American win it and go with Levi Leipheimer.
