Ray grew up in North East Ohio, lived in Florida, North Carolina and recently relocated to Dahlonega with his wife Elaine. Ray's background has always included sports and outdoor activities. One of his favorite pastimes was skydiving. With more 1500 jumps he competed at the national level and was a free fall training instructor. Being one who likes the experience of the "long haul," he geared himself towards endurance events. After running several marathons, he found the bike. Road or mountain, it didn't matter. Great friends, long rides, great scenery and a lot of time to think. Ray is 1 of 12 who've completed the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race 10 times. He enjoys riding brevets, centuries and an occasional road or mountain bike race. Come to Wheelworks for a great ride, to talk bikes or just to hang out. Live to bike, bike to live. Ray rides a Pinarello Prince with Campagnolo Record components, Zipp wheels with Tufo tires.

Mr. Shizzles

Steve M. - El Rápido

Steve has one philosophy and he says it often: "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting..."

When asked about Mr. Shizzles, Steve took a drag off his Viceroy, exhaled a cloud of smoke, then he looked at me over his sunglasses and said, "Mr. Shizzles better worry about me getting in his head!"
