Team Bios 2010

AT – aka “Rip Cord” or “AT”. Rip has been riding with the Dough for about a year. RC is all about speed. Never one to leave anything on the table, look for Adam to go out hard and not stop. At least until he pops.  AT has the best collections of any team member, with some of the sweetest muscle cars ever made hanging in his pimped out garage.

Bergamo - Over 6 feet tall, weighing in at around 140lbs, he’s the prototypical cyclist. Pure sandbagger, he also loves the contrast between his motor and his downtube shifting, circa 1987 (purple) Trek frame. Those of us with less in the tank need to lean on technology from the last decade to give us a chance…

BK – Though his participation on group rides is as spotty as an Akorn-created voter registry, BK is a full-fledged spiritual member of the club. He holds to all of the ideals of the Doughboys, which is convenient, since we really have no ideals. For a chuckle, ask him about his Nelo’s bike fit. This guy is funny!

Chad – Great guy. Needs to put some air in his tires.

Cheech – On temporary assignment in Jersey, we expect Cheech back in the near future. How many people willingly trade Austin for Jersey? Cheech earned his nickname the hard way, making his bones on a group ride highlighted by an epic Chihuahua launch. Maybe the best story in Doughboy lore. We miss ya Cheech.

Coach– Pater Familias, founder of the Dough.   As interested in Belgian beer as Belgian bikes. Loves to ride. Rides off-road like a Dustin Hoffman character drives. Malo claims to get draft off his calves, which are prodigious, and white as Gollum’s belly.

Craig – Allegedly owns a sweet Colnago.  Let’s see it Craig!

Cracker – Dough member for about a year. Crack has jumped into the deep end and is still treading water. Second only to Malo in recruits, he has played a big part in driving new members.

DK – New member. Strong and reliable. And recently lubed his chain.

Dan – DJP is a one-speed rider. Hard to hang with in a sprint, he pops like Mr. Bubble about 10 times on a 40 mile ride. GO! Blow…GO! Blow….GO! Blow… You get it. Dan’s bike cost more than his car. And he got his bike for $250 on craigslist.

Drain-0 – Longtime friend and part-time cyclist. He rocks a sweet Orbea, but has been riding sparingly due to his bohemian approach to cycling, and life in general. His warm weather gear is inspirational in its total lack of concern for fashion protocol.

Fitz – The Big Tree has become a full-fledge member of the peloton.  Sporting his new Mad One, he looks the part of a Classics rider. George Hincapie maybe? Thanks to Hoodie, Fitz is no longer the go-to draft generator.

Hoodie – Fresh from the bumps in Colorado, the Hoodie is our lead-out guy. At 6’ 8” he creates a vacuum that physicists claim does not exist. Gained his nickname through punishing efforts right outta the parking lot.

Malo – Recruiting leader. Like any consummate salesman, always closing on new members, but rarely gracing us with his presence. Takes the best vacations of any Dough member.

Mauricio – Founding Father. Pain-inflictor. Resting HR of a cadaver.  The King of Leisure. The flowing robes, the grace, striking….

Q – Converting from MTB, Q is for Qlimb, as in $h!7, that Q can climb! Racing keeps him from regular Dough rolls (Like el Rey), but he is always good for a Lactate threshold ride when he can make it.

Rey - Honorary Dough...too fast for our regular rides. El Rey graces us with his presence between races.
Scheibs– Ex hockey player. Bunny hop skills matched only by Dan.

Stanton – College buddy of Mauricio. Rocks a sweet Cervelo. Needs to ride with us more.

TK – Corporate fat cat, renaissance man. TK is a multi-sport guy, recently picking up cycling. Ultra-competitive, we predict pain in all of our futures.

Trent – Spiritual member

Ullrich – Founding Father. As strong as his German namesake, Ullrich is made for the fall classics. His strength grows as the temps drop and the radiator becomes more efficient. Discovered Mount Fudge over two years ago. Has superhero ability to run at hummingbird-like HR.

VJ – Dr Fuentes. Veej is a longtime member of the Dough. Most positive attitude in the Pelo. He secretly desires a carbon upgrade, I am sure of it!

Wulf–  Recently traded in his Fallujah Flyer for a sleek ProjectOne Madone. His recent weight loss triggered a news inquiry into his hunger strike.

Yeti – A long-time member of the Doughboys, MC is a core member. He was there pre-jersey. Pre-bib. Pre-sub 40 degrees riding. Renowned for his ability to hibernate.

Z  aka "Stevie Big Ring" – recuperating from knee issues. Z is back in the Pelo!
