For those of you that know me (really know me), you know that for probably the last 15 years I've HATED riding a bike. It doesn't matter if it's a road, mountain or cruiser....I hate biking!!! I grew up road racing. I got my first custom Italian road bike when I was 10. I know it was a big stretch for my parents at the time to get it, and I wish I had more gratitude for what they were doing for me at the time but I was 10 years old and just trying to fit in as a "normal" American kid.....whatever that was!?! My dad grew up road racing in the Czech Republic and all over Europe and he knew it was a great summer cross training tool for ski racing. Looking back, thank god my parents had me involved in all these awesome things and not being (what I thought) was a "normal" kid. Growing up in Boulder there was a culture of being very athletic in a lot of circles, and there were enough of us kids (especially ski racers) to have a kids road bike series calle...
