Date men from United States / California / El Cerrito, 40 year old

Date a man from El Cerrito, United States. Self-aware problem solver, I'm good at fixing things and enjoy figuring out how the world really works, even if it changes every day. I'd like to meet some one to hang out with who has her own friends and interests, and we can see what combinations are possible and enjoyable. I like to travel, enjoy road trips and hiking and motorcycles.
I'm a little unconventional, in a whitebread Berkeley sort of way, but I've been a mechanic for a long time (which doesn't mean I'll fix your car :) ) and I race cars a few times a year (24 hours of Lemons, it's a race for $500 cars, and quite fun and un-serious). I am financially aware and in reasonably good shape. I've recently lost a lot of weight and have been expanding my exercise routines, so if you have bicycling or nature hikes in mind I'm up for it.
These 'mini-bio' blurbs are always a challenge- what do you say about yourself to make a realistic-yet-positive first impression? Good question! I'm a realist/pragmatist, but tending towards the optimistic and enjoying the absurdities life gives us...
