This year I will still be racing to raise money for the fight against  childhood cancer. I would like to thanks everyone fro there support last year and I am really looking forward to this 2009 season.

Q&A - Personal

What inspires you to compete?

I like the butterflies or the rush before a race. I like to push myself to the limits and of course I like the feeling of victory.

Music?

I listen to it all. If you were to ask me whats in my ipod right now I would have to say 311, type o negative, kenny chesney and jack johnson can't ride without jack.

How's Life Treating You?

Life is good. I have a wonderful wife Melissa and 2 cool kids Trevor and Jeremy. You know life is what you make of it. My oldest has Luekemia. So we live life to the fullest. Trying not to worry about the little things. Work hard and have fun and there is nothing more important than family.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

On the bike everyday. In the gym 3 times a week. Will also have a nutrition plan that I will follow.

A little something about me

MY name is Robert Nelson. I am 36 years old. Started Road racing in 1985 and was starting to move up in the local racing scene. In 1986  I broke my left arm and shattered the elbow in 3 pieces. That put an end to my racing dreams. In 1996 I decided to get back on a bike. So I started mountain biking. Nothing really came from it just weekend fun. In 2007 I started to get serious again. It was like something clicked and I fell in love with being on the bike again.  2008 will be my come back year. I will race all the Cranky Monkey events along with other VA,WV,PA, and NJ cross country events.
