Personal Notes: I began racing bikes at age 11 but my
career ended early after a serious crash. Cyclists were
not mainstream then as Lance had not come along, and
very few people knew of Greg Lemond. So it was an
easy decision for me to take up running where I enjoyed
success in both track and cross country, qualifying for
the Indiana State HS Championships in both.
Having been away from cycling for over 20 years, I got
back on the bike in 2007. With the founding of the
MoSR team in 2009, I would like to make sure that kids
who have the desire to race can have the resources
and support that were not available to me when I was a
junior racer.
Cost has always been a barrier for young riders. I hope
that our mission of bringing steel back to the race
course creates the image that you can be successful on
machines that you ride to school through the week and
then race on the weekends.

Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Team MoSR is
comprised of 30 riders between the ages of 11 and 82.
In 2011, we added a 16-member Women of Steel Tri
Team, which has grown to nearly 30 members in just
one year.
Men of Steel Racing is committed to getting more riders
of all ages and abilities on the road and introducing
new sponsors to bicycle racing. We got a cool name
and we admit it helps us promote a race for steel
frames only. But it also describes the strength and
heart of our team.
Team MoSR represents the Men of Steel Racing Club,
which has members across the country and a few
international members who support our mission.
