Day 4 Race Day is finally here and I am nervous and anxious. The road race is the first race to begin and I know the bike is good, I know that I have had good training the last year, and I know the course. It is time to get out there and ride. It is time to have fun and trust my training. We are all lined up and it is time to go. As I cross the finish line I...

Day 3 Race Day Eve, but the course recon is very important. It is not a hard training day, but just a day to stay loose and get a good, updated look at the course the race will be on. If I have not raced the course before, it gives me the opportunities to get used to the turns. In cases like the Swamp Classic, I have raced this same course in previous years so I am just getting a refresher...
Hello everyone, In talking with the snow sports federation in Brazil, we are about to hear news regarding Beijing Winter Paralympics 2022. I personally thought they may postpone them just like what we’re seeing in Tokyo, being that we completely missed this last season of racing (canceled due to Covid). Apparently they won’t be postponing Beijing, just the qualification criteria may change —I’ll learn more about that as soon as they do (the federation said). While I wait to hear about Beijing news, I’m...
Day 2 Bikes are unpacked and ready for a little bit of training to get used to this Florida humidity and time zone. We are riding with Team USA Paracyclist, Brandon Lyons, around his community. He has welcomed into his home for a couple days before we all race in the Swamp Classic. The ride was relatively flat and long. It was good to ride outside and with other handcyclists. My training typically consists of either riding on the trainer inside...
Day 1 Finally flying out to a race for the first time in a year. I am very excited and very nervous at the same time. Along with getting ready for a race, I am preparing to leave my wife and 2 year old daughter for the first time in a year. They are just as excited and nervous as I am. Excited because I am finally racing after spending so many hours of so many days of the last year...
Hey guys! When winter time comes I get really excited when it snows, and try to find any window to go to the mountains. This time around, with the “stay at home order,” I could not find a place to stay in Mammoth Mountain, no hotels or Airbnb were open to public. The few people I know that have houses there, I tried reaching out with no success. When the snow came hard and I found an opportunity to go I was there!...

Now that 2021is here, I'm happy to say that this new year couldn't have started off better with me being accepted to Team PossAbilities Paralympic program for...
