I ride recreational tours and long distance group rides with the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society.
From 2000-2004, I raced triathlons and duathlons with the Ann Arbor Triathlon Club and was part of the 2003 Midwest Regional Championship team. In 2005, I did a few cyclocross races with the AATC team as well.
I started racing with the Ann Arbor Velo Club in Spring of 2006.
