I posted some of my HHH helmet cam video on youtube a couple days ago in case you want to bring back some memories of this epic ride. I rode it yesterday indoors and we will be riding it tomorrow at Vision Quest's Highland Park facility.
THIS WAS MY 3RD YEAR DOING THE HHH, IT WAS THE BEST YEAR, WEATHER WISE
NICE AND WARM, WILL TAKE THAT OVER COLD ANY DAY, SOFT WINDS YEEEEHAAAA AND I FINISHED SOOOO... IT WAS A GREAT DAY IN THE SADDLE!!!!
Well I have to say I think you guys all ROCK! This is my fourth... fifth??? year shooting the HHH, and it gets better every year. When I'm out on the course, taking pictures & doing my thing cheering you all on, I get so energized watching you all!…

My wife Cindy is a biker, too. We love biking together. Between us, we have seven grown children. We call ourselves "septo-parents". I love my profession - it's a perfect fit for me - IT Project Management. I really like riding my motorcycle (red 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100), long-distance running, hard and hilly biking (and spinning classes). My wife doesn't like hills. We love international travel, photography, and trying to keep straight everything our kids are up to at whatever time.
Not easy! We're leaving for a trip to Peru for two weeks on 5/27. Presently training for the Horribly Hilly Hundred near Madison, WI on 6/20/09. I think I'm pretty much trained up and ready to rock and roll!
Favorite Music:
My daughter Kallie (she's a singer), Bruce Cockburn, Rich Mullins, Van Morrison, Clapton, Seger, Springsteen, George Winston...I could go on.
Favorite TV Shows:
24 and Lost.
Favorite Bike:
My Giant (not huge) roadbike - very light and capable!
