Conrad Stoltz

After a few years dabbling in BMX racing, rugby, cricket, judo and running, I started racing triathlon at age 14. A few years later I turned pro in 1992- fresh out of high school. Other than the 24 years' of racing triathlon in South Africa, I raced 6 seasons in France and this is my 13th season in the USA.

I also enjoy mountain bike racing and mix it up with the "tall socks" when the schedule allows. [Sea Otter and Whiskey Off road this year in the USA, and Argus MTB Challenge in South Africa.]

"Riding with champions", Northern California High School league & Specialized.

April 14, 2009

Northern California has a booming High School racing programme. It is run a by a non profit organization and Specialized enthusiastically pitched in with a huge truckload of demo bikes for the kids to try out, and 3 World Champions on loan. Hence “Riding with the Champions.” Ned Overend, Rebecca Rusch and myself.

The kids could choose between the Specialized Epic, Stumpjumper, Stumpjumper 29er and the Enduro.  The Specialized mechanic set the kids up on bikes, adjusted the suspension for each one, then we had a safety briefing before setting off into the beautiful Paolo Alto Redwood hills. Great riding. Was really cool to see the excited kids, their enthusiasm brings back fond memories of my days a rabid bike geek teenager.

Stats for Conrad Stoltz are coming soon.
