In 1968, I ruled the two block area around my house from astride my purple Schwinn Stingray 5 speed, of which gears I used only one. Thirty years later, a Trek 1400 hooked me on cycling, and taught me the advantages of actually using the gears.I started fitness cycling in 1996. I have ridden in the Hotter ‘n Hell Hundred, Children’s Miracle Network ride, Family Y sprint triathlon, and the River Rock Challenge Adventure Race. Married to Anne-Marie for 25 years, with four children: Ellen (formerly on MSU’s cycling team), John (who is going to Marine Boot Camp March 16), Thomas, and Lee. And four (yes, four) dogs: Seamus the elderly boxer, Finnegan the Golden Retriever, Gabe the lab mix rescue dog, and Fiona the Chesapeake Bay Retriever rescue dog.
