Experience Nothing too exciting, no racing, just club rides and a few centuries here and there. I rode a lot in the 70’s and 80’s and then started again in 2005. At the end of last season I had a flicker of a thought in the back of my mind that it might be fun to try a master’s race…
Favorite race(s) See above
Pre-ride beverage Black homebrew coffee in the morning
Pre/post-ride hangout I usually ride with a group that has an odd habit of stopping at a different coffee shop in Orange County every ride, but in the middle of the ride. At least the longer, harder routes put all the climbing and most of the miles before the stop, so after is just an easy ride back to the park where we meet.
