1994 Trek 2200

This was my first road bike. I bought it in August 1994. It has carbon fiber tubes with aluminum lugs and Campagnolo components. I still have this bike and estimate that I've put over 10,000 miles on it.

After years of my Rocketwing collecting dust, I finally raced it in the Fiesta Island Time Trial Race. Pretty slick looking bike don't cha think!!! And how about that Flash Gordon-like aero helmet!

1995 Tour De North County 70-miler

Taken just a few minutes after completing the 70-miler which turned into 82 miles because our group took a wrong turn! Derailleur broke and had to pedal the last 5-miles stuck in high gear! Man! That was painful!

20 mile ride around Miramar Naval Air Station. This ride was a blast and was more of a time-trial than a casual ride! I averaged about 21 mph. Not bad for being about 240 lbs!

Pretty heavy here...about 267 lbs. This was just a couple of weeks after being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and starting CPAP treatment. It was a challenge just to do sucha short ride but I was still jazzed to finally be back on the bike.
