 | I look like Floyd Landis, but I must be taking the wrong stuff, cause I still can't get the same results. I ride on the road and have just started on the track, which is freakin sweet. This is my third year on the team. You can call me Wiggles. |
| |
 | I'm new to the team and am interested in racing road. |
| |
 | Before I had ever ridden a road bike (and about 7 years since I had been on a bike bike at all) I went up to the track and tried it. IT WAS AWESOME! I have been hooked ever since! |
| |
| First year on the team, have been riding mountain bike for 5 years, free ride for 3 years and Down hill for a year. |
| |
 | I first got interested in competitive cycling as a result of taking part in a local triathlon. I then moved on to longer and longer group rides with clubs around Madison, Wisconsin... And now I hope to race the road season here at the U. |
| |
 | I've been in love with cycling ever since I can remember. Love is fickle, however, and I can't seem to stay put in one cycling discipline! ... |
| |
 | 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 like biking. I tried racing my freshman year at the U and got hooked. What I most love are headwinds, climbs and sprints, yay. I'm mostly a road rider but got on the track a little last summer and hope to get on it for some more exhilarating riding this year. |
| |
 | I've been riding recreationally for most of my life, but have always ridden around town on the MTB. Finally decided it was time to upgrade to a roadie, and I'm excited to try my hand at some races. Who knows, maybe they'll even talk me onto the track sometime. |
| |
| Well, I just started racing in 2005 and am completely addicted. Now that Lance has retired Im pretty much just waiting for Discovery to give me a holla and I'll probably just fill in as team leader.. While Im waiting for that call though I love road racing in and around Minnesota and in the NCCCC. |
| |
 | Got into cycling cuz i heard at some races they give away free powerbars. I've been riding for a few years now, racing for two. I prefer a long road race or time trial to a crit, as sprinting is not my specialty. From what i hear, i give a good draft. |
| |
 | I ride and race mostly mountain bikes. I started riding back when I was four, and have raced for five years now. I love riding my singlespeed, and have riden it almost explicitly for the past year and a half. |
| |
 | This is my third year racing for the U of M. I ride road bikes, and I think fixies are overrated. I love racing. |
| |
 | I started cycling in 1999 when I realized that you can't do a triathlon effectively with a mountain bike. Since then I have really enjoyed going out for long road biking trips. ... |
| |
| I started racing last year during the collegiate road racing season. I also competed in a few USCF criteriums and track events, which was fun. |
| |
| I've just started taking cycling seriously, and am excited to be riding with a team this year. |
| |
 | I used to ride BMX as a kid and only got into riding Road Bikes once I came to the U. Since then I have fell in love with the sport. |
| |
| This is my first year ridding for the University of Minnesota. I tend to fall a lot and then enjoy laughing about it. I primarily race mountain bikes, but I'm going to try some road races this year. Wish me luck! |
| |
| I like biking, I like bikes. I like mountain bikes, I like road bikes, I like track bikes. I like bikes. I’m involved in racing road, mtb, and a bit of track. |
| |
 | I am a triathlete. |
| |
| Well, this is my second year with the team although my first year was cut rather short because of mono. Ive been racing since I was ten and did quite a few mountain bike races until I was 15. Now I mainly do WISPORT time trials and some road races. ... |
| |
| I've worked in bike shops for five years, but been obsessed with biking since 11. Right now I am a technician for the infamous Gear West Bike and Triathlon shop ... |
| |
| This is my 2nd year on the team. I've always loved riding bikes, but only recently started racing competitively. Track is definitely my favorite discipline. The velodrome is amazing. Road racing is cool too. My goal for this race season is to keep up with Steph and Kari in the TTT. Someday I need to give MTB a try. |
| |
 | I'm just getting started on my road career. I am mostly focused on triathlons, but I feel a little "alone time" with my bike will help give my life meaning. |
| |
 | The thing I love the most in this world is keeping my hands off of the brakes as long as possible through a fast, hardpack dirt corner. Long dirt climbs are fun, too. ... |
| |
 | I only ride bikes so I can wear spandex and shave my legs. That's it. And hang out with Skreetch. Oh, and don't ever let Big Ben get behind you. It's terrifying. |
| |
 | I race track and the collegiate road season. My favorite races are probably the points race and the madison. |
| |
 | I like to ride mountain bikes the best. Now that I have my new Kona, I'm leaving the ground more often. Maybe I'll be the next Marla Streb. |
