| Name: | Bob Peterson <gretchen@spectra.net> | |
| Age: | M 59 (a geezer wannabe) | |
| Mass: | 175 lbs - generally and been that way for quite awhile. Scandanavian genes. | |
| Size: | 6'0" | |
| Bikes: | Double Vision - last July, Vision R-42 - a few weeks ago. | |
| Rides: | 1000 miles/year | |
| Where: | Vestal (suburb of Binghampton), New York, USA | |
| Works: | Graduate degree as a Chemist. (Got laid off from IBM 3 years ago and managed to get a job as a Quality Control manager at a little plastics molding place in the area at about half the former salary. Who wants to hire an old chemist when they could get a young guy for less money? Am I pi**ed at IBM? Yep. | |
| Likes: | Enjoy biking (obviously. It was my ticket to "freedom" when I was a kid and I kept doing it except for a few years when I got my first car.), X/C skiing, hiking, sailing and building model boats. | |
| Climbs: | Yeah, I go up hills but reasonably slowly. I don't want to blow out my knees - both of which have been operated on for torn cartilage. The single 'bent is too new to determine how I'll do on the hills with it. There are hills in this part of NY though. I am somewhat determined to get in shape for the hills to show up my friends who put down bents by saying that they are OK if you don't want to go up hills. | |
| Crash: | not surveyed | |
| Beard: | I grew a 'stache many years ago to make myself look older. Now maybe I should consider removing it for the opposite reason. | |
