John Roden

Years Racing : 25
Race Category : Road/cyclocross 2, Semi Pro Mountain Bike
Home Town : West Falls, NY
Goals : I'm just glad whenever I can make it to the starting line with a clean jersey and my tires pumped up. Once the gun goes off I just want to see our team do well with people riding up to their potential and enjoying the sport. My personal crusade is to get everyone out for some cyclocross so December finds us without a clean jersey on the whole team.
Bio: I am 46, married with two children, Evan, age 5 and Aubrey age two. I have raced bicycles for a long time and really enjoy any sort of racing. I work from home as an educational researcher and enjoy cooking, bread baking, working on junk cars and cross country skiing. My wife is the brains of the family, while I can only contribute a rugged sort of handsomeness
