I began biking in 1997 as a means of getting some much needed exercise. Shortly after purchasing a bicycle, I began commuting 18 miles a day (round trip) to work in Spokane. In September of 1998, I rode my first century and in 1999 rode from Seattle to Spokane with my son, Dirk.
I returned to Seattle from Spokane in 2001; continuing to ride solo throughout the Seattle area. In early 2004, I looked up SBC on the Web and began weekend rides and found the joy of group riding. Since then I have enjoyed biking as an SBC member to include training rides for Ramrod … which I was able to ride in 2005.
Club Volunteering
Jimmy Pelaez asked me to work with him on the SBC board in 2005. This is my first endeavor as a club volunteer and am enjoying the work and the camaraderie that comes working with other committed cyclists.
