Each year we just hope to do better than the previous year. It's not about a money goal; it's about giving guests a great value and raising as much money as possible. It just gets bigger and better each year.

I sat there with everything - and I had nothing.
crash element fact love races ten within
Everything that's going on within the peloton - there's about ten different races going on. There is also a survival element to it - I love the fact that it's so epic. You crash on a bike, the first thing you do is try and get back up on it. No whinging!

champion proud
I've been proud to be national champion.
cheater people way
But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory, there are going to be people that cheat, and there will always be ways to cheat.
done accumulation good-and-bad
I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.
team lazy legs
I shave my legs twice a week. It's hard the first time you do it. But I'm very lazy. For a team photo in December I just did the fronts.
