Last weekend, at the conference championships, a lot of people were asking when PaulMach.com would do an interview with BISSELL Pro Paul Mach. So, while Paul was on his way to the Tour of the Gila I caught up with him to ask a few questions. Here is the first part of that exclusive interview.
PaulMach.com: What's it like living the pro lifestyle? Does your wife just cook for you, do your laundry and give you "massages?"

Paul Mach No, it's not like that. My wife has a job that actually pays. She's a high school math teacher in West Sacramento. I do my part by vacuuming with our BISSELL Healthy Home Vacuum, among other things.

PM.C: Are you still in school? How is that research going?

PM: Yeah, I'm still in school working toward my PhD. I come home from a ride, eat a bunch of Kellogg's cereal and then get to work.

PM.C: I just read on CyclingNews that Levi was ineligible to race at Sea Otter. What do you think about that?

PM: I think the rules are a little weird, but it doesn't bother me and it was cool to have him there. If the jersey had been made by Giordana I'd be missing it, but I don't even think about it now. However, I'll raise a stink if they take down another one of Scott's jerseys to make room for it at the Riviera.

PM.C: Speaking of great riders, have you ever been impressed by Phil?

PM: Which one, Mooney or Mann?

PM.C: Both. Ever impressed?

PM: No.

That concludes part 1 of our interview with Paul Mach of BISSELL Pro Cycling. Return next week when we'll continue our conversation.
