12 Hours of Mesa Verde – 2014

This year I decided to go back to Cortez and Phil’s World for the 12 Hours of Mesa Verde. I have done this race before and was excited to go back. The course is super fun with lots of twists and turns, a pump track style trail with technical sections that make for a very […]

Whiskey Off Road – 2014

I have heard a lot off good things about the Whiskey Off Road for a long time, it’s not the best distance for me at 50 miles but I wanted to check the event out, so I made the trip this year to Prescott, AZ for a weekend of racing. The race consisted of a […]

True Grit Epic 100 – 2014

My new favorite first race of the season is the True Grit Epic 100 in St. George, Utah. This race has everything that I want in a mountain bike race, challenging and technical riding, fun fast sections of single track and a good amount of climbing, not to mention the incredible views of the surrounding […]

Winter Park Epic 50

The last couple months have been tough after breaking my collarbone in the middle of my race season back in July. Instead of just sitting on my ass and feeling sorry for myself, I’ve tried to stay as busy as possible and do what I could do to be on a bike no matter what. […]

Breckenridge 100 – 2013

This was my 9th time racing the Breckenridge 100, for better and worse, I know the course like the back of my hand. The good part is being ready for every twist and turn on a very difficult course. The bad part is that I know the level of pain and suffering that is about […]

June 2013 Race Reports

This year the 24 Hour Nationals were in June, falling earlier then normal in the race season. I gave it my best effort to be in 24 hour race shape by starting my riding season a month early. Unfortunately my plan didn’t work and I had the worst 24 hour race I can remember, six […]

2013 Syllamo’s Revenge and Gunnison Growler

“It was the best of times it was the worst of times.” My last two races have been plagued with bad luck, but with all the problems I’ve had it’s still just peanuts in the grand scheme of things. I am just happy to even have the opportunity to travel around and race my bike […]

True Grit Epic – 2013

This year I am starting my race season a little earlier in anticipation of 24 Hour Nationals in June, so when the True Grit Epic became the season opener for the NUE series, I jumped on the opportunity. Getting ready for a race by the middle of March is not the easiest thing to do […]

24 Hours of Moab – 2012

My last race of the year would once again be the 24 hours of Moab. This was the 18th edition of the famed race; unfortunately it was also the final edition. I have enjoyed the 24 Hours of Moab all of the times I have raced it, and was looking forward to being part of […]
