We all can use a feel-good story every once in a while

Judy Freeman is just like one of us.



Working hard, effected by the current economy, and persistent at reaching personal goals, my friend Judy, who always offers a warm smile, got a little bit of good news.

Check it out here.

Most of us pro mountain bikers need to make a living the old fashioned way, but it never stops us in our pursuit of that special day, week, or year where we can go toe-to-toe with our peers who line the pages of cycling magazines.

Good luck in Australia!

Giving thanks

To the people who have made my cycling career possible; Mom, Gary, Nick, George and Trek - Thank You.

The new machine...



The old machine has been semi-retired after bringing me to a 12 hour solo victory in Gunnison. She will now serve as a faithful backup.

You've been good to me...

Here we go again

After some discussion with good friend, solo 24 hour support man and newly appointed race adviser Nick, I decided I will be racing the 24 hours of Moab - this year's USA Cycling 24 hour National Champs. I love Moab and I love this race. However, a good result has eluded me every single time I've raced this race. I am going to be ready for it this year and I'll need to be as all of the big names will be there. I know how it feels to be on both ends of the spectrum:

Feeling great...



Feeling not so great...



Either way, I love this sport.
