A Little History
Let me start with a little history to give context to my story. I am a Colorado native, born in Denver in March of 1960. I began racing bicycles (road at the time) in high school at the age of 17. I left college for a year and a half to race and then returned to college at the Colorado School of Mines and graduated with a BS degree in Geophysical Engineering in 1985. In 1984 I married my lovely wife Karen and we have two wonderful children, Brady, a national level cyclist and CSM freshman, and Katy, a wonderfully strong girl and pretty darn good tennis player following in her mom's footsteps.
I began racing mountain bikes (cross-country) in 1989 after my son got out of diapers. I did very well, and have been a national cross-country champion in 2000, 2001, and 2003 for my age group. I also was the CO state champion I think 7 times during the last 15 years. It was the pursuit of these titles that led to an unfortunate incident in 1995...
