happy birthday to ted shred.

ted shred has been a huge influence on me. when i moved to chico for college, and as my interest for track bikes grew i would watch videos on youtube of people bombing hills in sf. ted's stuff was one of the first things to pop up. low and behold, ted lived in chico. i went to the first competition that he held in 2008 and i was hooked into fixed gear forever. this would later lead to the blog, and me taking helm of those competitions. today, he's married and evidently it's his birthday. i just wanted to take the time to express my gratitude to ted. he's a mentor and a great friend. happy birthday brother
