Real name: Al
Where do you live? North Orange County, CA
Explanation of your handle: As a young law firm associate, I envied those with the title of "Of Counsel" because they didn't seem to work as hard as the firm partners, and didn't seem to have the book of business either. But they seem to have a level of expertise that meant they were too good to get rid of. That's what I aspired to be. I've had the handle for over a very long time now.
Age 43
Occupation: Senior counsel for a large corporation
Favorite bike: 1985 Peugeot PH501
What's in your stable?Cinelli Proxima w/Campy Record 10, Specialized Camber Expert, Trek 7.1 FX (with baby seat), and an Eddy Merckx Fuga frameset waiting to be built.
Fastest speed on a road bike? where?: I have no idea, but I race motorcycles, and I've done 158mph on the front straight at Auto Club Speedway.
How many miles ON THE ROAD on a road bike last year? I'm just getting back into riding about 2 months ago. I've put in about 400 miles on my mountain bike since I started up again. Haven't pulled out the road bike yet, but I will this weekend.
