I am a regular guy just like you.
I have an amazing wife, four active kids, a full-time job, and a great network of like-minded friends. In 2009 I picked up the sport of mountain biking again a long time of not riding. I upgraded to a bike made in the current decade and started with some group rides around the local Front Range hills of Colorado. This moderate involvement quickly escalated into joining a team, training seriously, making new friends, racing, racing more, and racing even more.
Today I participate in 4-5 Marathon and Ultra Endurance events a year with a few cross country and short track races on occasion. With the help of LW Coaching and the fortune to live in a great place to ride, I moved up to racing (mostly) Pro / Open in 2013. I have chronicled most of my adventures, triumphs, and frustrations over the years here on this website so please feel free to take a look.
See you out there!
