About Me

40 something Husband, Father, Software developer, Bike enthusiast & beer drinker.
My Wife and daughter are always the priority, so by default, so is work.
I ride when I can, however the above list is not only a description of me, it is also my priority list.  So when the first three responsibilities are complete, it is time to grab a bike and go ride then come home to cold & delicious adult beverages.
This is about the other parts.... Bikes  & Beer.



Living in Japan, I have the unique opportunity to participate in the SSWC by only driving 4.5 hours.  Over the past three years, I have spent at least 90% of my time on my road bike.  While on skinny tires, I have managed to still find adventure... 
 


After two years in Chinatown, Yokohama, we moved to Hayama - I was stoked to find I had hiking trails only a 5 minute walk from my new place and MTB trails only 8 minutes away....  Woot!  Going back off road... 


My bike of choice for the SSWC will be a Soma Juice.  The bike has sliding dropouts that allows for going single speed without an EBB or Tensioner.  Mine has been converted to a 142x12 so my wheels are compatible with my niner, but otherwise - no modifications.
