Well if you don't know already i'm totally into cycling, although my preference lately has been road racing I enjoy all types and styles. I enjoy the way I can push myself harder and harder each time out, cycling has improved my life more than you could imagine. I used to smoke, drink, and basically lead a sedentary lifestyle, now I'm fit, healthy, active, and I'm enjoying life much more... I sleep better, can concentrate more effectively, my reflexes have improved, my blood pressure has dropped, and my endurance has increased.

Currently I'm racing for MBRC(Mississauga bike race club), but I train with a few other clubs as well, such as The Toronto Bike Network(TBN) and the Bicycles Plus cycling team from Oshawa. Training with other riders of varying abilities allows me to improve my riding even if the people I'm with seem slower, I can always pick up little hints here and there.

Results

Well here are some results from my very first year of racing(2001), its hard to believe that this is only my second full year of cycling.
Ronde Van Wind-Del, 2 day stage race with three events, first day 93kms RR finished with the lead pack, second day ITT 9kms 16:02, 73kms RR dropped by the lead group but finished on the lead lap.
Good Friday Road Race 40 kms 11th
Springbank 46 kms just out of the top ten, about 13th, 14th
Niagara Classic 104 kms 19th in Cat3 @ 2:48:48 + 2:30
Flamborough Road Race 40 kms 12th
Preston St. Crit 100 kms middle of the lead group
Kitchener Crit (Ziggys) 80kms 10 seconds behind lead group
Kingston Stage race, 2 day stage race with three events, first day pulled with three laps to go, about to be lapped, second day ITT 10 kms 13:54, crit group finish

And if bike racing isn't your style perhaps you could race me up the CN Tower, in the charity climb earlier this year I climbed all 1700+ stairs in 12:39, my personal best so far and my time to beat for next year.
