You’re big time now. How has your fame changed you?:
Mmmm, I don't know.  I'm  a little more confident I guess.  I looked up to the Golden Bike and now that I took Vincent off the podium, I'm feeling a little cocky.

How will you prepare to defend the GT Golden Bike?:
I do a lot of mountain bike tour guiding, so that allows me to get quite a few hours on the bike.  I have Nationals next, and then a little tapering from there. 

How long have you been competing?:
Since January of 2008

How are the Gold Diggers treating you?:
Great so far.  They gave me a hard time this morning when I told them I would win today.  I guess that gave me even more motivation!

Do you plan on telling your significant other about the Gold Diggers?:
Yes, of course!

What do you do when you’re not riding?:
Eat, sleep, read a little bit.  I like fiction a lot.

How do you support your cycling habit?:

MTB tour guide.

Anybody you’d like to thank for helping you win the GT Golden Bike?:

Mom and Dad.  My boss James Faerber for letting me know about the GT Golden Bike Series.
