Who am I?: Given my Dutch heritage it's only natural that I'd be passionate about bikes, and with my small frame that I'd love to climb. After a long hiatus I began riding again when living in California's wine country. My riding and goals intensified each year, and I joined the racing scene when I relocated to Boulder in 2003. I raced with Rocky Mounts~Izze in 2004 & 2005, departing in 2006 to establish Boulder Velo Racing with friends.
