S-Works Epic

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.

2011 Leadville Trail 100 1st Place

Still Going

June 29, 2010

I'm still knocking out these blogs, I feel like I'm closing the gap to Hill. I've even got some photos in this one so here we go.

Meg going to the bachelorette party last week. It was an 80s prom theme. I think she looks more like Punky Brewster though.

In case you haven't been to a news stand lately, here's my Xterra teammate Dan Hugo. The lady's love him and I think he as a better photo on this Tri mag then Lance has with a similar pose on Men's Health. Though Men's Health probably has a wider audience.

Saw this ad in the WORS magazine at Erik's in WI. This ad is a little gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Meg and I have been loving our Globe bikes. The belt drive is sick and we can now climb the dirt trail from the River Path to our house with out getting off or possibly blowing the back out. Anyway, we rode them to Dough Works this morning for some B-fast.

Even my coffee mug matches the bike and I didn't even plan that. Also notice the sweet carbon S-works seat post.

For those of you thinking Durango is super bike friendly check out this article. More specifically read the comments at the bottom. When ever there is an article about cycling in the paper there are at least this many negative comments. We have incredible trails and great access here. The roads are awesome to ride but I've ridden all over the world, literally every continent sans Antarctica and I think some of the only place I've ever been hit is here and South Africa. Here it was malicious and SA the guy was just oblivious. So be careful if you're out on the roads here.

This is Meg cruising the sweet river bridge on her cruiser. You can jump off the bridge into the river when it's high enough and there are no people there telling you not to jump off it.

The STXC in WI was HARD! I was suffering quite a bit on Sunday and it was all I could do to get 5th. I'm not sure why it was so painful since I felt great on Saturday. Wisconsin and WORS put on a great event, I hope we go back next year. The courses were fun and challenging, the spectators were awesome and the weather was good. I would say it's the coolest course on the PRO XCT circuit this year. I'm partial though since I grew up on the East Coast and it's very similar to East Coast riding. All the courses have been good though so far.

OK, too much blogging. I have to get dressed and meet up with Rude for some Sports Center like golf up at the Crest.

I wonder if Kricket has internet at her condo up at Cascade....
