Bike List

Ok, seems to be the thing, here are a couple buddies and my list of bikes:
Adam's Bikes
Brandon's Bikes

My bike list 2001-2009:
Dave Scott Ironman Centurion - Steel, Given to me by a friend, size 61! This bike started the craze!
Litespeed Tuscany - Sweet Ti Love
Litespeed Saber - Had to have more Ti
Colnago Dream - This bike could turn on a dime! Awesome road race bike.
Look AL Track bike - My love for the track has never faded
Quintana Roo Zero Gravity - Funny ITU road bike
Quintana Roo Lucero - First Sponsored Tri Bike, really nice carbon
Litspeed Siena - Ti, never got to ride it enough
Guru Veloci'Ti - Wow, beautiful paint
Scott CR1 - Really stiff carbon
Titus Racer X - One ride and moved on from the off road stuff, maybe someday again.
RMS Sparrow -Fully Custom Ti Tri Bike, I ride what I love
Cervelo Super Prodigy - Steel, sweet ride!
Cannondale F4- Hardtail Mtn. Needed something for the trails and Muddy Buddy races
Some Rush - Fixed gear, back to the track! Steel, very stiff!

Since I have been in or around the bike insdustry for many years I have ridden just about everything. There are alot of great bikes, but Ti bikes will always have my heart.

My favorite road bike was probably the Colnago, with the Tuscany a close second. I road the 'nag to quite a few Road Race wins, but the Tuscany gave me my first. For tris I road the saber for close to 5 years and won the U23 Texas TT and Ironstar Half Ironman on it. My RMS fits a bit better since it is fully custom, now I just need to get back in shape. I like a bit stiffer ride so I have always prefered Ti over Carbon. I am hoping the Cervelo will give me the "Steel is Real" feel everybody talks about.

    How do you ride a size 61 bike? Must have been quite a sight!

    It was huge! I put the seatpost as low as it would go, so the saddle was basically on the top tube. I had to lean the bike on its side or stand on a curb to get high enough to mount the bike!

2024 USATF Masters Southwest Region Outdoor Championships

  I have enjoyed getting some time to focus on my running and there is something about you first love (in sports). I remember running laps around our cul-de-sac as a kid dreaming of olympic glory. No Paris for me this year, but I will make a "run" at nationals in Cali later on. I have always had a sweet spot for the 1500/mile. Definitely not my best event, but do what you love, and accept the outcome. I had a good build and speed period to get ready for the race at Rice University. The down side was a 1pm start, so very hot. I wanted to be 4:45 range for the 1500m race, but came up a bit short at 4:52. I will blame it on the heat and I died in the last 200m. Started out strong and led from the gun. Driving into the last lap before the monkey jumped on my back Yep, thats all there was to give. I must also say that I am proud to represent BKV Energy . I joined the team a year ago as a new startup in the retail energy space. They have also help support my athletic pursuits. The ...

2025 USATF Southwest Region Masters Indoor Championships - Masters Mile at UH - A New PR!

  I’ve really enjoyed Masters racing over the past couple of years, so I was excited to hit the track again for the mile at the Yeoman Fieldhouse at UH. Coming into the race, I felt strong —training had been solid and consistent, and I was ready to see what I could do. I had a good warm-up : a couple of miles of jogging, some strides , dynamic stretches, and 4 x 150m ramp-ups to 4:50 pace to get the legs firing. Race Plan & Execution They ran the mile in two heats , and I was in the second. My goal was to go out at 4:58 pace , hold that through 1009m , and then kick it up a notch . Once I started hearing my splits, I knew I was just a touch off pace —but I didn’t panic. At 809m , I still felt in control and started gradually picking it up. Navigating Traffic & The Final Push I was getting back on track when I hit lapped traffic , which forced me to run most of the penultimate lap in Lane 2 —this ended up being my slowest lap . Despite that, I closed strong , crossing t...
