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.

Cascade

July 5, 2010

The 4th of July was a hit. G.C., The German, Rude and I rode the Kennebec pass loop from town. We met up with Maple, Snoodle and Plaxton at the Kroger Campground and rode the rest of the way together. It was an epic day since we had 4 flat tires(none for me luckily) and G.C. had to answer the call of nature multiple times and not the quick easy one. The ride was sweet though and we saw a bunch of people out on the trail.

I spent the past two nights down in town since I didn't want to get up early to do the 4th of July ride and then we just wanted to hang out at home yesterday. I still got some good high altitude training in on the ride yesterday so I think it's all good. Tonight Winston and I sleeping up here with out his mom who has to give our diabetic cat Maddy, a injection everyday at 9am. First she was really fat and then she got really skinny.

I had a nice rest day today. First Winston and I hit the dog park after watching the Tour de Crash. Then I met up with Barthel at Hillcrest to hit some balls on the range. From there I had a nice spin in the valley and then met up with Snoodle, Plaxton, G.C. and Taylor to tube the river. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was in the mid 80s. Just about perfect except for the stiff headwind we had. Not bad when you're dry, but pretty chilly after getting soaked in some rapids. This is us loading up.

Snoodle in the Exploder

Plaxton taking it easy.

This is the whole crew taking off. I couldn't get that great of pictures with my phone but I did manage to not destroy it in the river.

So Snoodle's dad just bought this van and is driving it back to Massachusetts from Durango as we speak. I think the top speed is 50 mph. That is a long trip, at least he has his dog for company.

Tomorrow I blasting out some more sea level training in the lab and then I only have to drive up here two more times and then we're off to Colorado Springs. The races in the Springs are all set to start after 4 pm with the XC currently scheduled for 6 pm. That's pretty late so I'm hoping they change the schedule.

Myron is suppose to be driving the new Specialized truck out to Colorado Springs. I hope he passes his driver's test.

I wonder what T.V. show Snoodle and Meg are watching right now.....

Stats for Todd Wells are coming soon.
