What do you love most about FAST?
The dedication and enthusiasm of the Board and Members.

What is your favorite park to ride in Sioux Falls?
Leaders Park.

Where is the coolest place you've ever ridden outside of Sioux Falls?
Moab, UT.

What do you want FAST members to know about you? 
I really feel access to quality green spaces (and trails) can have a disproportionately positive impact on people's lives.  It has on mine anyway.

If you could only drink one kind of beer for the rest of your life, what would it be? 
Castle Danger's 17-7 Pale Ale.

What is your favorite piece of riding equipment? 
Brooks Cambium C17 saddle.

Flats or clipless?
Yes.

What is the best tip for someone that wants to start riding a mountain bike? 
Don't get too caught up in the race for the latest and greatest gear.  The best bike is the one you're riding.
