Meet the Riders: Andrew

Greetings, my name is Andrew and I'm hoping to ride 90 miles for the LIVESTRONG Challenge. I figured I would use this space to share a little about myself.

That's me on the left.

I got into cycling in college, where it made sense to bike everywhere. Since then, I've worked to find ways to be able to bike to work, to the store and to generally ride it as much as possible for various errands and meet-ups with friends.

My first organized ride, the Austin Autism Society Bike Ride, was only in April of this year. It was a great experience, and I've been waiting for the right time to take on another big ride.

I chose the LIVESTRONG Challenge for a few reasons. Some of them are personal; other reasons include:

• The mission of the organization (obviously)
• The hard sell that Spencer gave me about a month ago
• Being able to ride with friends
• This commercial:
  

Thanks to all who are supporting us! Here's my LIVESTRONG page:

I plan to post some pictures of our training rides in the future, so stay tuned!
