2000 Olympics

"At the age of six, I started cycling in Stuyvesant Park. I couldn't have ever dreamed where cycling would later take me in life. At the late-for-competition age of 33, I started competing at local races in Central Park, challenging myself to do better and better. Nine years and countless laps of Central Park later, I competed in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. With my days of competition behind me, I ride for fun and coach cycling in New York City parks, still my favorite venues for cycling."
