\"Tim<\/a>Which Relay link do you want to ride?<\/strong>
\nSanta Cruz to San Jose<\/p>\n

How you found us<\/strong>
\nI attended a talk Martin gave several years ago.<\/p>\n

Why you want to do this ride<\/strong>
\nTo help promote a good cause and have some fun while doing it.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your touring experience- if little or none, indicate many miles have you ridden over the last year:<\/strong>
\nI will be doing Cycle Oregon for the 5th consecutive year in September. I ride from Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo every year. I have ridden Sierra to the Sea. Two years ago I toured France for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your bike<\/strong>
\nMy latest acquisition is a Co-motion NorWester touring bike. This was custom built for me and breaks apart so it can be carried aboard trains, plans, buses while touring. However, for the Santa Cruz – San Jose relay I will again be riding my Cannondale R2000si<\/p>\n

Describe your training regimen<\/strong>
\nI’m a regular participant on the SCCCC Saturday long distance training rides. If anyone is interested\u00a0here a link to our schedule<\/a>
\nAlso, I do local training loops on my own and use my bike to run errands around town. I try to get in at least 100 miles a week weather permitting. I’m not a big fan of riding in the rain.<\/p>\n

How are you making time for this<\/strong>
\nI’m retired<\/p>\n

What are your fears about doing this ride<\/strong>
\nGetting a flat on Mt. Charlie. Last year we had to be at the San Jose City Hall by 9:00 am and that doesn’t give us much leeway. Any chance of giving us a little more margin this year?<\/p>\n

If you are involved with other non-profit organizations, please tell us about them:<\/strong>
\nI’m on the SCCCC Board of Directors. I recently resigned from the board of Cyclists for Cultural Exchange but still a regular participant in CCE activities. Most recently, I hosted a fund raiser to help bring a group of Turkish cyclists to our Strawberry Fields Forever event.<\/p>\n

OCCUPATION<\/strong>:
\nretired computer engineer<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong>
\nTim lives on a bike road in Scotts Valley, CA and used the healthy bikes riders he saw on it as a visual to overcome the cancer he was stricken with (–NBG staff<\/i>)<\/p>\n

AGE<\/strong>:
\n62<\/p>\n
