Yikes! My favorite roads on Bainbridge Island are being chip sealed, all at the same time, all during primo cycling season. No one consulted me before doing this work. What’s worse than riding up a hill on chip surface? Riding downhill. Front wheel feels like it’s on the verge of skidding with the slightest shift in weight. Oh well, Levi’s ride promises some steep climbs on crappy roads. Guess we can call this training.

Born in Harrisburg, PA. Undergrad at Drexel University. Learned to ride a bike when six years old, riding ever since. Started cooking when I was in college, stopped when I got married, started again in 2006 when my wife was out of town for a few months. Jobs: worked at post office while in college to earn money to buy a stereo. After grad school, worked at a small software company in Redmond, WA for twelve years. Afterwards, went back to school to get a certificate, then started teaching high school. Still doing that off and on, part time as the need arises.
