Why you ride: We like to go fast, and cycling gives us a way to do it together.
Who do you ride for: Aunt Liz, Doc and our teammates who live with MS.
What you ride (bike bio): Matching his and hers Jamis Xenith Comp road bikes. They're zippy little racers with more carbon than a piece of burnt toast.
Longest ride to date: Single day: Day of the Tread Century 2011; Multi-day: 7-day tandem bicycle trip from Vienna to Prague, 280 miles
One interesting rider fact about you: Laura is physically incapable of riding her bike without getting chain grease on her calf.
Best cycling memory: Riding through the Czech Republic together on a tandem bicycle. It's a wonderful way to see a country.
Best memory of a previous MS ride: The descent from Truchas on Day 2 of the 2011 MS Ride. It felt like a reentry from low Earth orbit, except with logging trucks that pull out in front of you. Eric says it also felt like bee stings (because he got stung by a bee).
Your post ride routine: Eric: Beer, munchies, nap. Laura: nap, nap, nap
Your favorite recovery meal/beverage: Laura: Chocolate milk. Eric: I like tacos. A good pale ale, too.
