Portland area racer and blogger Brooke Hoyer submits his answers to the CpQ (Cyclocross Punters Questionairre). Enjoy!
1. How old are you?
42
2. Where did you grow up, and where do you live now?
That’s a challenging question. I’ve lived in Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey (for three months), Connecticut, Michigan, North Carolina, Michigan (again), Illinois, and Washington state – in that order. The longest stretch I’ve lived anywhere was my second time in Michigan, from 1983 through 1999. I’m now in Vancouver, WA.
3. How long have you been racing? As an elite?
This is my fifth season. I’m no elite but have managed to crawl up to the 35+A group.
4. What was your first bicycle?
My first bike was a no name thing with training wheels. Soon after I learned to ride sans training wheels, I got a Schwinn Stingray in a wicked metallic green. I got my first ten speed when I was ten or eleven. It had 26” wheels. I got my first Merckx a couple years later (long story) but it got stolen pretty quick.
Masters national champion Wendy Williams and Eric Tonkin will be talking cyclocross on the KBOO bike show, September 5th 9-10am PST.
Check it out. Velog is a really simple social network and training log for cyclists. It’s a like having a mini blog just for logging your rides. As cyclocross season approaches you can use it to keep track of your training rides, monitor your progress, and compare your activity with that of your friends.
Race.cx now has a group on velog which you can join. It’s neat because you can see who the other race.cx readers are, where they are from, and what they are riding. Also, if you join the group, your rides will show up right here on the race.cx sidebar. You can see it to the right, just underneath the “asides” section. If you have your own blog or website, you can add your own personal velog to it just like I’m doing with the race.cx group here.
Also, to stimulate your competitive side, velog let’s you graph your ride data against friends and other riders. The picture to the left shows my hours over the last week compared with some of my friends.
