Rider Profiles
Chuck Alt

USCF Category: 4
Racing Categories: Road
Racing Age (2008): 43
Bike(s): Van Dessel Kermis with Dura Ace (road), Van Dessel Project WR with FSA/Shimano (TT)
Rider Bio: Started racing at Ohio State in 1986 and continued to race sporadically after graduation till 1994. Bought a house, had kids and proceeded to get fat and unhealthy until watching the 2004 TdF motivated me to dust off my old 7s Specialized Epic Carbon. Reactivated my licence in 2005 and did a few races unattached. Joined CCC/AAB racing team in 2006. Got the triathlon bug in late 2006 due to the attractiveness of running to keep in shape while globetrotting with my job. Bought the dreaded running shoes in 8/06 and have actually gotten to the point where running isn't that bad. I don't think I'll ever be a competitive runner, but my swimming is fast enough to make me somewhat competitive in a tri.

Residence: Chesapeake, VA

Bike: Trek Madone, Fuji Cross Pro, Trek Equinox TT
Rider Bio: I started receational mountain biking in Hawaii while serving in the military in 1999. I tranferred to Hampton Roads in 2000, got out of the military, and looked for mountains/good trails. Finding none nearby, I bought a road bike and got quickly dropped on my first group ride. That made me mad. I improved my fitness and started road bike racing. I recently added a cyclcross bike to my quiver. To justify the purchase to my wife I had to race it, putting on the skinsuit of pain that is cyclocross racing.
