Summary
|
Cycling has become an important role in my normal life. I only started cycling in my early 20's due to the need for some excitment when attending school on the west side of Michigan. Since starting cycling I have seen my body and mind transform to an amazing state while still pushing the boundries everyday.

Eric Patterson
Eric is an occasional racer, but thoroughly enjoys the recreational side of riding. He started riding in 2002 when a college roommate
convinced him that the advanced loop at the local single track was an easy ride. He was sold on the sport, even though a crash meant
he had to replace his roommate's helmet. Eric frequents road and mountain bike group rides around Grand Rapids and continues to add
new riders to the sport by encouraging their entry into cycling. While being an excellent cyclist to meet on the trail, he still
enjoys being pushed by the big dogs to help progress his abilities.
In the Stable: Oryx T-Line 125 Race MTB (custom built-up), Specialized Allez Road Bike (mostly stock), Gary Fisher Sugar
Frame (soon to be built-up for endurance racing)
Team Positions: Weekend Racer, Club Rider, Self Taught Mechanic, Team
Director
Other Interests
Eric consumes the better part of his life building his business. If he is not busting out hours in the Aeron, Eric thoroughly
enjoys nature. Either cycling or simply spending time with Tucker (Kim's Great Dane) helps satisfy his love for being outside.
In the off-season, in an attempt to pick up the most challenging method to get down a snow covered hill, he can be found telemark and
back country skiing around West Michigan.
