Everyday I have a moment when I realize how lucky I am to live in the San Francisco Bay Area. No where else do you have mountains running into the sea, days when you can be climbing through fog in one minute and rolling down into the warm ocean breeze in the next, and so many places to take in the view. I took my first bike ride across the bridge and into Marin in 2006, and have since then spent thousands of miles and hours on two wheels in and around San Francisco, Marin, and beyond. These days I'm focused on winning bike races and sharing my love of riding, which luckily has me spending plenty of time in the Marin Headlands and Mount Tamalpais.
