The Interesting Stuff
Favorite Workout? 20/40s up Tunnel Road outside of Oakland, CA. I miss that climb!
If we had the budget to make rider cards, which we don’t, what animal would you pick that best describes your riding style? A yak loaded down with anything Mike Kirby may need but doesn’t want to carry himself.
What was your first real bike? Redline 220. A bmx bike that I bought from chore money when I was in 6th grade. Best bike I’ve ever owned.
What is your ftp? f(x) = (4x-2bc)^1/2/(3n+log5x)-.2 where x is not geometrically constant.
Favorite thing about racing for such an awesome and successful team? We actually like each other, which in my experience is a pretty novel concept for bike racing.
Favorite time to aimlessly attack the coffee shop ride? After following the wheels on the small roller after the descent when everybody else is tired.
If Mike Kirby flats in the middle of a race, what do you do? Sprint to the front of the group and demand the race be neutralized until he gets back on.
Favorite in ride nutrition? Snickers bars in the winter since they don’t melt in your pocket. My wife makes some pretty great energy bars that I really like as well.
Besides giving Mike Kirby your wheel when he flats, what are you looking forward to most in the 2012 season? Sheltering him from the wind and bringing him bottles when he’s thirsty.
