Throwing Brian Whitcomb into the madison	Cycling Bike racing: I used to race for the Cal Cycling Team. I also raced the Cal Human Powered Vehicle, read about my world records and see some pictures at the Cal HPV Home Page. I prefer track racing, which I started doing at the Hellyer Park Velodrome. Search this article for "Norman Zentil." That is my grandfather placing 3rd in a race in 1936.
Outdoors I ski during my lunch hour at the Pajarito Mountain ski area here in town. If I get more energy I head to Taos (steep) or to Wolf Creek (sweet powder) New Mexico is also great for fishing or for hiking or backpacking in the local National Forests	Mike "Chowder" Chow, Me, Joe "Couchtroll" Grana, and "Jack" Peterson on Piute Pass (Eastern Sierras near Bishop, CA).
