Todd Wells

I started racing mountain bikes in the fall of 1994. I won the collegiate National Championships in 1995 and 1996 for Fort Lewis College. In 1996 I also started racing with the Specialized Mountain Dew team and won the inaugural Semi Pro Norba National Series Title. In 1997 I turned Pro and raced the NORBA series, U-23 World Championships, and domestic World Cups until 98. I took a few years off cycling, finished college in Arizona and got a “real” job with IBM. I quickly realized racing bikes was more fun then working and started training again. I started racing again in the middle 2000 and joined the Mongoose Hyundai team at the end of year to race World Cups, NORBAs and cyclocross. In 2003 I switched to the GT team and have ridden for them until switching back to Specialized this year. Over the years I have won two cyclocross national titles, one mountain bike short track national title and been a member of two Olympic teams. I have won NORBAs, numerous UCI cyclocross races and stood on my first World Cup podium this year. I am looking forward to adding to my list of achievements over the next three years with the Specialized Factory Team.

Cool Race

June 5, 2010

This looks like an awesome race. I want to go do this next year. Urban MTBing in Florida.

This site has been seriously neglected lately. I think it's because of Facebook and Twitter. Anyway, I've been taking the week off and resting up. Actually, I haven't been resting so much as golfing and when you play as poorly as I have been lately you get quite a bit of exercise. I can't wait to get back on the bike and start logging in some big miles.

Winston is doing well and went hiking with Rude, Sammy(Dekrey's dog) and I up Engineer the other day. They decided to go swimming right before we got back in the truck and proceeded to cover the inside in mud. I've got most of it out but am still finding clusters here and there.

The trails in Durango are awesome right now and the weather has been great. High 80s during the day and cool at night, perfect for sleeping. My grass is even starting to come back and is turning green again.

I don't have to go anywhere until June 24th when I head to Wisconsin for the next round of the PRO XCT. Hopefully by then the grass will be completely back, my golf game will be coming around and the form will be on the upswing.

I gotta get outside and enjoy this beautiful day. I think Meg and I are going to hit the high country for some hiking.

I wonder how long this good weather is going to last....

Stats for Todd Wells are coming soon.
