How long
have you been a member of the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Wheelmen or Wheelwomen?
I joined
the wheelmen during winter quarter. I had been riding bikes for two years but
decided competing in races was what I wanted to do.
What does
it mean to be a member of the Wheelmen community?
Being a
part of the wheelmen community means always having someone to ride with. Before I joined, I was always doing solo
rides which gets boring after a while.
I’ve met tons of great people who are always willing to explore new
routes.
What
cycling disciplines are you involved with?
I am only
involved in road right now, but plan on starting to mountain bike over this
summer and competing during the season in the fall.
Please describe
your favorite San Luis Obispo ride.
My
favorite route so far is Old Santa Rita off of Old Creek Rd. Lots of dirt roads with very low car traffic
and extremely scenic views. Credit goes
to Chris Ha for showing me that one.
What are
you studying at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo?
I’m
currently in my junior year, studying mechanical engineering.
Spotify or
iTunes? Let us know your favorite tracks.
I’ve been
using Spotify for the last two or three years.
The student discount is a great deal. I’ve been listening to Always-
Classix Remix quite a bit recently.
Vans or
Converse?
Converse
all the way.
Sweet or
savory?
Sweet. I will destroy a bag of kettle corn if I get
my hands on it.
Please
provide us with one interesting fact about yourself.
I learned
Spanish before I learned English. I had a nanny when I was 5 months old who
taught me Spanish. I’m still fluent and
acted as my family’s translator when we travelled to Mexico when I was 10 years
old.
Aside from
cycling and education, what occupies your time?
I try to hike the
surrounding peaks as much as I can. I’m also trying to teach myself some coding
to eventually write iOS apps.
