When I first started riding I went about 5 miles and felt like a rockstar. I knew I would do more but not how much. I rode in gym shorts and tennis shoes. I knew nothing about how to dress or why. Back in summer 2004 I never imagined having a fancy carbon thingy bike, more shorts than I have blue jeans, a mountain bike, riding in the cold or riding 100 miles in a day. I just looked getting around the town we lived in as something cool.
