Comment:  I starting racing on the road in high school, and almost immediately migrated to the track. The road was great, but there is nothing like racing on a velodrome. I still ride and race on the road, but at this point it's primarily training for track. After trying my hand at just about every event out there, I've finally found my niche, racing primarily madison and points races. This last season I began traveling around the country to get to some larger competitions. I hope to keep that up in 2007, and maybe even make it over to Europe in the fall to race a 6-day.
