MULES - (USA)

   Paddy Shrimpton - "Le Patron"
SADDLE : Montebeccane,Bianchi,Fuji Team Issue
PASTURE: Houston,Texas
Paddy is the co-founder of the MULES which started off as a hobby between my twin brother and I to honor our fathers memory who was a great "Philantropist" to childrens Advocacy. Rides every time he is home in Houston around Waller County (Zube Park) or any organised rides that may be on the schedule. Spends a great deal of time on the road with opportunities to cycle in other areas of the world,Singapore,Australia,UK,India. 
 Kenny Rhame - "Mighty Mouse"
SADDLE: 2008 Giant-OCR-1
PASTURE: Houston, Texas
Raised by penguins following a childhood boating accident, Kenny makes his roost in NW Houston with a beautiful wife and two kids.  He is often spotted pedaling around Zube Park and surrounding areas. Kenny also enjoys running and punishing his body with Crossfit workouts. Kenny is our "Road Warrior" representative who trains harder than any other Mule. Kenny is one of the original MULES

David Hill - "Waffles"
SADDLE: Specialized 
PASTURE: Houston,Texas
American born and raised with a true passion for the outdoors and travel. A conservative adrenalin junkie, spotted often on trails and roads around the world running and biking or soaking up the sun in a park. Convinced he receives “Popeye like” strength and endurance from eating waffles and will make every excuse to his performance if he doesn’t have them before the ride. Often heard on rides shouting "I'm feeling strooong today mate!"

Adam Miller - "Rociante"
SADDLE:Trek X01, Obrea 
PASTURE: Houston,Texas
Tormented by windmills, Adam journeyed to Texas from Florida for endless roads where he can churn his own energy.  Adam gets "Mulespiration" from his wife who is surefooted, travels far and can pull up to 30% of her weight but has no other mule-like qualities.  A walking contradiction, Adam is a committed Miami Dolphin fan and shares Henry Rollins' view that one ought to play sports rather than watch them.

Jason Flockton-"Kiwi Sherpa"
SADDLE:Trek Madone 6.5 and an Eddy Merckx Gara
PASTURE:
Houston, Texas
Jason grew up as a young foal in New Zealand before moving to Perth, Australia at the age of 15 (just as he was really getting interested in girlie mules). Later he developed a passion for cycling and could be found trotting around places like the Swan River and Kelmscott with his mates and the wind whisking through his mane. Jason never regretted his move to Perth (prettier girlie mules) and eventually married the Lady Mule of his dreams. They now raise two foals together and in August of 2009 moved to Houston, Texas. Jason can now be found trotting and grazing in the fields of Hockley on weekends with his equine mates teasing cows and dodging pick up trucks

  Sean Lloyd - "Of the Dog"
SADDLE: Trek
PASTURE: Houston,Texas
Sean has a warm affiliation for Dogs, especially when they are chasing him through the Texas countryside.

 

Greg Marcarelli - "Guido"
SADDLE: Trek Madone 5.5 2011, Appaloosa
PASTURE:
Beautiful Jungle Hot Houston, Texas
American born and Southern Californian raised. Original pasture was the beaches of So Cal but have over 25 years in the saddle riding miles in the Hot Texas Sun. Currently single and always looking for a sweet Philly to come out and join the Mules for a nice long ride! Over the years that the only way to survive it all is by horsing down copious amounts of Shiner Bock Beer (Texas brewed with an attitude!) usually after our rides but sometimes during! When not sweating buckets out on the range riding with the Mules - I enjoy spending my money on fine wine, women and the rest I just waste! I also log a lot of good quality time in my pool and hot tub - so come on out and ride with us, afterwards make sure you sit a spell and take in the great friendship and hospitality of this world class group of riders. Peace!
Shawn Chmil - "H"
SADDLE: Cervelo RS -TC2
PASTURE:
Houston, Texas
Second to join the MULES stable under the name Sean, Shawn reserved the 'H' spelling but, contrary to the former, is not allergic to dogs (Ruff Ruff...Here Boy...Good Doggie).  In his first two years of cycling starting January 2010, he proudly shares extraordinary adventures at The Hell of the North, the Queen of the Classics, a Sunday in Hell (Paris-Roubaix) - Muur van Geraardsbergen & Koppenberg (Ronde van Vlaanderen) - Côte de la Redoute (Liège–Bastogne–Liège) - Road to Hana & Sea-level to Haleakalā Summit (Maui).

Andy Brickell - "le Fixuer"
SADDLE: Trek Madonne
PASTURE: Houston,Texas

By day a mild-mannered bicycle commuter, at the weekend I cast off my disguise and show my true colors.  After shoveling my 40-something carcass into under-sized spandex I take to the road, an old geezer on a gorgeous, hi-tech Trek Madonne bike (as ridden by Lance, well almost).  You'll generally find me puffing my way through the back roads of Waller county, or in the depths of George Bush park, frantically trying to catch my fellow mule-skinners.  I'm the oldest member of this illustrious group so you'd think they would take it easy on me, but noooooo.

John Olson - " Big Swede"
SADDLE: Specialized Roubaix,Trek 7.3, Schwinn Le Tour, Heavy Walmart Iron, Harley Fatboy
PASTURE: Born in Southern California,  Raised in Iowa,  finally made it to Texas,  in 1987. Lives in West Houston  and bleeds purple for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training fundraising organization, "Saving LIVES One Mile at a Time".   Relative newbie to cycling having done his first century in 2008 on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu and has been hooked ever since now coaching a team that rides the Honolulu Century Ride annually.   Looks for any excuse to hook up with fast rides so he can "slow them down to a more reasonable pace."  Known for his broad backside that provides a great windbreak for fellow riders.

SADDLE: Trek
PASTURE: Houston, Texas
Chris hails from the Midwest (St. Louis, Missouri). Chris has been cycling since she moved to Houston in 2009. Although Chris complains constantly about waking up early to ride seemingly endless miles, she spends a great deal of her time in the gym where she teaches group fitness classes in everything from weight lifting to spin to sports agility. Chris enjoys beating her (larger) fellow mules up hills only to have them whip by her on the way down.

David Eglinton - "Barger"
SADDLE: Moulton 2-speed FSB, Marin MountVision ATB, Trek Madone 5.2
PASTURE: Wisteria Lane, Houston,Texas
Public Notice: "Barger" is an inaccurate, unfair and inappropriate description of my mountain biking technique. Libelous allegations of boisterous riding as made by the Hydon's Bullock riders of the Surrey Hills should be discounted.  Houston Mules will vouch that I gently and courteously cruise the flat earth roads of Texas

Emily Stonebrook - "Femme Folce"
STABLE: Specialized Dolce
PASTURE: Houston, Texas
Hey y'all. A native Houstonian, I tried my hand at winters and went to school in Nebraska, but couldn't get home soon enough. Now I am a very happy nurse at M.D. Anderson Center. I started cycling in the epic year of 2009 with Team in Training. You may find me and Black Magic (my beautiful Specialized Dolce) battling the terrain in Tahoe... or maybe sightseeing in Washington DC, or perhaps just a nice roll on up to Austin. I get around. :-) I cycle. I fundraise. Rinse and repeat!
