What do you love most about FAST? 
I love what they are working towards, building more spaces for people to explore and be active.

What is your favorite park to ride in Sioux Falls? 
Tuthill or Leaders

Where is the coolest place you’ve ever ridden outside of Sioux Falls?
Spearfish in Dakota 5-0


What do you want FAST members to know about you?
Only started riding for something to do while I was hauling kid to bike races. I really enjoyed it and also meet a bunch of new awesome people that are super fun to hang with so here I am looking for a way to give back to that community.

If you could only drink one kind of beer for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Whiskey drinker here - I like a little bit of it all; bourbon, Irish, scotch, rye. Haven’t found a Japanese one I like though.


What is your favorite piece of riding equipment?
Favorite piece of attire is bibs, gotta have that butt pad and keep it in place.


Flats or clipless?
Clips 

What is the best tip for someone that wants to start riding a mountain bike?
Just get out there, the more time on your bike the more comfortable you'll get. Ride under control but not scared or timid. Whatever level you’re at there’s a place for you.
