Most memorable moment on my bike: I was supposed to meet a friend for a ride and they bailed at the last minute. I headed north on the coast on my fixed gear and stopped in San Clemente at a 7-11 to refuel. Next thing I know there is a group of riders coming in from the north. They were on a century, headed south to San Diego and Brandy was among them. I made the wise decision to turn around and ride south with them, Brandy and I hit it off and the rest is history. The picture above is from the day that we met.

Most fun I've ever had on my bike: First time I rode my fixed gear. Fun, but scary!
