I started cycling when a couple of friends invited me to ride with the team. On my first ride we road half way up Mount Diablo. Coach Jason Kent pushed me up most of the mountain. I kept riding my bike and soon I could stay with the team on most rides. 2011 is my fourth year riding on Tieni Duro. Since I started riding with the team I have made many new friends and become a much stronger rider. Next year I hope to continue improving as a cyclist and I will try to help my teammates as well as try to earn my Category 2 upgrade. Coaches Shawn Rosenthal and Jason Kent, as well as many of the other mentors, have really helped me succeed in the sport.
