I worked for the Ericsson group for almost 17 years in various capacities, most recently three years in Woodbury, on Long Island, N.Y. I left Ericsson in 1998 and I now work for the Rational Software brand of IBM Corporation as a software configuration management specialist.
In my spare time I like cycling. My bike is a Linear long-wheelbase recumbent which I've customized pretty heavily.
Over the years, I've published a few stories on the UseNet, describing rides I've made. I've collected them here, re-vamped into HTML format and with a few pictures added. I hope you'll enjoy them.
