I think "professional athlete" is a kind of one-dimensional way to describe my relationship with long distance riding. Even after 25 years of racing, I still love competing and being part of the community, and I especially enjoy checking out new events and routes. But even more than that I enjoy giving back to the sport that has sculpted me into the rider (person?) I am today. Providing experiences and opportunities for others is what led to the launch of my Backyard Series – the Fat Pursuit and the Gravel Pursuit. It doesn’t stop there – I love to speak, mentor and educate. I'm still constantly learning, tinkering, experimenting, and growing as an ultra-endurance cyclist, and I always want to share my take-aways with others. Check out the different workshops, camps and one-on-one consultation I offer below.
