More Info

Recently moved up to portland after spending the last 6 years in france. I've been spending my time enjoying all the local climbs and doing other portlandly things (my handlebar mustache has not quiet grown in yet). Other than that I am just about reading, some writing, riding and working on bicycles, and working more than I'm comfortable with.
