Legends Whiskey, and Folkheros

Tour of the Rockies - Racing between 8,000' - 13,000' with a bunch of late 90's "jacked up" Euros and Canadians.

Cactus Cup Pinnacle Peak AZ "Original Course" - The start of it all.  Oh how the Americans thought we would dominate forever.  Deadly Nedly, Johnny T, Rishi...how "the future looked bright".

Leadville 100 Mtb Race - 12,000' of climbing between 10,000' - 13,000' feet.  Here's the surprise, some say the downhill parts are almost harder than the climbing.

Mount Washington Hill Climb - 7.6 miles.  Course record by a "jacked up" Tommy D almost 50:00 minutes.  You do the math.

Snake Alley Criterium - 300', one twisting cobbled block.  Pro Race only 20 laps...and you'll beg for 4 laps after the first two.

Chequamegon Mtb Race - "Ore to Shore" and the "Ice Man" pale in comparison.  Better organization, better course and less $.  Why are you in Michigan?

Sea Otter Classic - The Monterrey Beach Peninsula, The "Cork Screw", vineyards, the first outdoor bike trade show.  What more could you want?

Any National Pro-Elite race regardless of the discipline.

Any Norba National/World Cup between 1996 - 2000.

Any Pro/Elite Cyclo-cross race with "8 or more to go".  Those that have been there no what we mean.

Any Pro/Elite Criterium with "40 or more to go".  Those that have been there no what we mean.

Any Division 1 college cross country running race.  And you think cyclist are tough?

Successful completion of "Everesting".

Successful completion on lead lap of the Pro-Elite Sylvania Cycling Classic.

Any 40K time trial race over 28.5 mph






This doesnt even scratch the surface of whats inside this guys bag...

Numerous State Championships
The Ohio State 100 mile Time trial record
World Championships
Two Top 10 at the only two Barry Roubaix attempts
Doing NRC crits as a first hit of the year..and getting in the money
Creator of State Champions
100 mile trainer sessions
Raced in Flint and then rode home to Ohio after
24 Hours of Canaan
more stories than most humans will have in three lifetimes
Has suffered more injury's than half the scene combined
Probably the nicest guy you will ever meet

T would bet what little money he has in his 401 that there is positively without a doubt not another rider east of Mississippi with a bucket list thats nearly filled with all things checked off..
