After a really tough year of recovery from my bicycle accident and car accident in Colorado, I am very happy to announce that I have officially moved back home to California. I’m looking forward to training and volunteering with Team PossAbilities. I can’t wait to race again. Thank you for your support.

As Team PossAbilities paracyclists, we compete in events all over the country. Some of them are one-day events, like marathons, and some are 2-4 day stage races. A stage race is a combination of some or all of the road events: road race, criterium, time trial, hill climb, and team relay. Ever wondered what exactly these things are? I know I did! So here is a brief explanation of the types of racing we do: Road Race – These are [...]
After a tough week of racing at the Time Trial, Road Race, and Team Relay National Championships in Georgia, it was straight to Wisconson to do the Tour of America’s Dairyland for the Criterium National Championships. The week consisted of four crit’s located all over Wisconsin with the National Championship being crit race number three. I had a great week in Wisconsin, partly because the temperatures were cooler and the weather I prefer to race in. My performance was [...]
This year, the Paracycling Time Trial, Road Race, and Team Relay National Championships were held in Augusta, GA. There was an excellent turnout with all of the top athletes in attendance. We faced hot and humid weather in our quest to top the podium and the quality of the athletes and the racing was excellent. One of the most exciting things to happen at the event was the official introduction of the team relay to the United States. Team [...]
Day 4 of the Redlands Bicycle Classic is always a bitter sweet day as it’s the end of our first big race of the season. I planned to peak at this race opposed to the National Championships as I felt I had a chance to win this race and not Nationals. I was also defending my title from last year which was important to me. That being said in many instances this race was my season, the reason I [...]
Criterium style racing holds a special place in my heart, especially when it is in my hometown of Redlands California. Non bike racers consider criterium racing the NASCAR of bike racing. This is because we complete many laps and sometimes the courses only have four turns. However, we do often turn right and most courses do have more than four turns. This criterium course in Redlands is most times called the long course and has been ran the same for [...]
Day two of the Redlands Bicycle Classic consisted of a road race in Yucaipa California. This course I was familiar with. The weather was a perfect 60 degrees and the skies were blue. This race is especially cool because it starts next to an elementary School and all of the kids come out to cheer us on. The course starts with a moderate climb into a flat section across Bryant Street if you are familiar with Yucaipa. The flat section [...]
This is the race that never happened. The Redlands Bicycle Classic is typically our first big race of the season. Everyone is in their best shape and eager to see where they stand with fellow competitors after the short winter some people call off season. This race shows who has been putting in the work over the winter. I was looking forward to the first race of the year as if there was a pot of gold at the end [...]
Thanks to Team PossAbilities I was able to go to my very first USA National Road Race and Time Trial Championships. Here is a little recap of how my race went. Despite the humidity it was an experience of a lifetime that I will forever cherish. First stage of Nationals, the Road Race, I earned 4th place in an intense and challenging race with many hills and chances to catch some really high speeds. The start of the race was [...]
