Crash Our self described mad inventor, Ph.D., andthe oldest of the bunch. Holds a bunch of patents, and restored the Land Rover that he drives to work. A ham radio operator, he is adevotee of Milwaukee power tools. In 2007, he eloped with his long time partner, Penny. They now have a son named Stephen, and twin daughters Marie and Grace. We appointed him Captain, since they wouldn't let us call him Chief Designer. He even decided heliked the job. He also served as a season captain (against Bowser Munson) in the American version of the show. .撅高含着玉势羞耻惩罚
>dp(Jeff)Theorganizer and actual leader of the team (also webmaster, mailer of T shirts,speaker to travel agents, etc.), recumbentbicycle obsessed (I design and build my own, see Frankenbikeand Trondholm,our tandem, or the The Busycle), and the most heavily bearded. (I am told that made methe prime candidate for captain, but I managed to avoid it.) Besidesthe bicycles, and this team web page, I build musical instruments, ringchurchbells, take pictures with a plate camera, and read entirely too much. As a side effect of the Junkyard alumni reunion, I have joined TeamTormentum, building siege weapons, primarilyfor tossing pumpkins. More detailshere.
