My philosophy is simple:  I go to work to earn money so I can spend it on cycling.  Buying parts, new bikes, travel interstate & locally to races, new gear of any sort related to cycling.  
I LIVE TO RIDE!
Mountain bikes are my weakness.  Racing MTB is the most fun & rewarding experience in my life so far.
My idol is Kerry Ryan who is over 60 years of age & is still riding like a 30 year old pro elite.  
That is my long term goal; to be still riding, racing &having fun on my bike for as long as physically possible.
