Alexander "Ali" Meller

An old dog trying to learn a new trick, Ali started riding with ABRT in late 2006, and racing in 2007. Despite dedicated training with a coach, racing the lightest bikes in MABRA, and careful wheelsucking behind Ace, Doetsch and Jay, he has yet to win a mass start race. But "hope springs eternal", so it could happen. The wheelsucker races 45+, 35+, 50+, 35+ 3/4 and once in a while cat 3 and 123 races. He has raced on the track at T'town and hopes to do more track racing. He also raced 'cross on his MTB once and decided 'cross was not for him.
