Who you are: Calvin
Why/Who for: For all my friends and family who suffer from neurologic and autoimmune diseases.
Years riding with the Penultimates and the MS150: This will be my second.
Riding Style (Climber/Sprinter/Rouleur/etc): Poseur
Your favorite recovery meal/beverage: Chocolate milk!
Best cycling memory: Day biking around Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken, Switzerland with my wife. Rented some bikes, visited Staubach and Trummelbach Fall in Lauterbrunnen, had lunch in the countryside, then (mostly) downhilling it to Interlaken. Followed by: spotting a lost cat (long story), gelato, and cruising around town. No wonder Europe is the birthplace of cycling.
Most painful cycling experience: Cycling 65 miles of the 2011 MS150 Day 1 with road rash and a severely sprained wrist...then having to abandon my teammates and my supporters on Day 2. N00b Lesson #1: obey the two cardinal rules of group riding -- don't overlap wheels and pay attention. Goal for 2012 MS150: Finish.
