Name: Bill Pinnell (USA/UK).
Age: 44 (at PBP 2015).
Personal Information: Director, Product Management, in the mobile semiconductor industry. Have lived in San Diego for 4 years with my wife and two boys, before that lived near Epsom, UK.
Interests: ElliptiGO, Photography, Gadgets, Reading and Beer.
Sporting Background: I cycled as a child, but then did no sport from my teens to the age of 31.
I started cycle-commuting to work in London (13-miles) on my bike. In 2004 I injured my L4/L5 (lower back) so had to cut back on cycling (which sucked). I even tried riding a recumbent – which was okay – but hard work on the hills…
In 2011 discovered and fell in love with the ElliptiGO, now having ridden over 15,000-miles and climbed over a million feet on it.
Why I’m doing PBP 2015: The PBP 2015 is a great goal that will help me focus on getting healthier in 2015. I hope we can make ElliptiGO history at the PBP 2015!!
Something most people don’t know about me: I used to rock-climb at school in the UK and would love to get back into it.
