After a few decades of mostly dismal results, he’s hung up the wheels on his bike racing career. Instead, now, he’s a trail / ultra racer… but don’t hold that against him.

He is a road cyclist at heart and doesn’t care much if those roads are paved, dirt, or digital. Although he rarely races, if you ask him to ride from sunrise to sunset, and beyond, the answer is always yes.
