Occupation Physician Assistant (aka MD Lite, Eternal Resident, or any other euphamism you prefer)
Experience Claremont Colleges Cycling Team 1989-91. Cat C&D. Currently Masters Cat 4. If I were able to go back now and race against my college self, I'd kick my college butt. Also had a great experience riding through the French Alps for 2 weeks over every Col imaginable. Riding in Europe is a must for any cycling enthusiast!
Favorite race(s) One in which I've finished, and haven't crashed.
Pre-ride beverage COFFEE!
Pre/post-ride hangout Both seem to be my bed, much to my girlfriends consternation.
Overindulgent meal The night before the Sea Otter Circuit Race last year, at Fifi’s Cafe in Pacific Grove, I had the Venison Medallions in a marionberry reduction sauce with a side of fresh vegetables and garlic creamed potatoes finished off with half a chocolate torte. And water.
Retirement/current bike Lemond Versailles with DuraAce
