Andrew is a junior racer who joined LGBRC in 2008. When asked what sparked his interest in cycling, he replies, " My mom did AIDS Lifecycle in 2007 and amazed me so much, that I wanted to start riding bikes to see how it felt like. When I first started riding, I couldn't imagine my mom riding over 500 miles on a bike! I did 20, and I was exhausted. I persevered that I wouldn't stop riding until, I was just as good as my mom. One Day my mom took me to a bike race, and I could almost feel all of the adrenaline, and the excitement of the bicycle racing. I started looking into all of the bicycle races, and I tried a couple, and now I'm just hooked on it! I'm always asking my mom if we can go for a ride, or go to this race or that race. I can't wait until I'm older so I can go on my own to race!"

Besides riding, he likes to hang out with friends, listen to music, and have fun.

He adds, "My goals for bicycling are being able to do a century ride, when I'm 17 to do the AIDS Life Cycle, and to be top 5 in the state."
