Rider Extras
Favorite thing about EMC2: My team mates who are friendly, supportive, encouraging, enjoyable and challenging to ride with. Nobody has an inflated ego. Good competition but friendly and good-natured.
I am a competitive weightlifter since my late teens and do much better at this than cycling. 3 World weightlifting master competitions in the last 7 years with a 4th and two 5th place finishes. In 6 National master competitions in the last 7 years - 2 firsts, 2 seconds and 2 thirds with the firsts and seconds being the most recent results. Look up SayrePark on Facebook for some lifting photos and video clips at the April 2010 National Master Weightlifting Competition.
