I just read something online that knocked me completely sideways. So, just for the record, here are some basic facts:
I was born in Nov. of 1968.
My very first mountain bike was a 1990 Schwinn High Plains.
Type1Rider was founded in May 2005.
My first 24 Hour Solo experience was Oct. 9th/10th 2005 in the 24 Hours of Adrenalin Series race held in Conyers, GA. I finished 12th.
I have completed more than 340 hours of competitive solo endurance racing since June of 2006.
In the past 12 months I have done just a tick over 300,000 vertical feet of climbing on my mountain bike.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1977.
Hopefully that clears some things up.
