I got into cycling when my uncle introduced it to me in the summer of 2004.
I did rides with my uncle and got into it. I became friends with Matthew
McChesney, who worked at a bike shop. I got into racing through Matthew and
he told me about Tieni Duro. I also met Freddie Rodriguez at that bike shop
and he got me more into racing. In January of 2006, a few years after I
built up my endurance I went to Early Birds to do the skills clinic and
check out racing. There is were I met some people from Tieni Duro. At first
I was hesitant to join so I waited until I was a little more strong. In the
early summer of 2006 I joined Tieni Duro in hope to race as much as I can. I
started racing towards the end of 2006, and I aimed towards the San Rafael
crit. The weeks leading up to the crit I was feeling strongest I ever felt
and then I got sick and couldnt get out of bed. This is how I ended my 2006
season. 2007 will be my first full season of racing and I hope to race as
much races as I can. |
