Both world cups in Belgium and Italy will be apart of the selection process for the team that will be taken to the 2024 paralympics located...
If you're not from California it's hard to explain how awesome it is to ride a bike and train here especially at this time of year. For me this is my favorite time of year to train in California. Cool temperatures and no rain makes for some of the best training weather anywhere in the United States. We'll this year has been quite different with an unusual amount of rain keeping me...
It's January and this 2024 season is getting started a little sooner than most years. For the first time since I've been racing at world cups the race was held in hot and sunny Adelaide Australia in the peak of the summer. Usually world cups don't start until April so having one this early was out of the normal race calender. One thing that made this a tough trip from the...
The 2023 paracycling world championships was held in Glasgow Scotland and I was excited to be able to compete in my second world championships wearing my countries colors. My first time competing for Team USA was 2021 in Portugal. Unlike my first time in Portugal I am was in much better shape and a different classification. Upon arriving in Scotland I noticed the weather was actually better than I imagined it...
This blog is a little late but time flies when you ride full time and work 2 jobs. Life can get away from us sometimes. Well, this year has been quite the experience and I'm eager to see what else is in store. This seems to be a recurring thing now that I'm going to the world cup in Oostende Belgium and doing well. Last year, I had one of my first ever world...
Time Trial, Day 1, Maniago World Cup, April 18, 2023 It's world cup season and the first world cup of the year is set in the beautiful Italian countryside of Maniago. It is my first time traveling to Italy and I'm so excited to race in one of the most iconic cycling countries in all of the world. Italy is host to many professional cycling races so for me the chance to race...
March had been a fairly uneventful month as far as racing has gone. Only race I competed in was the LA marathon on March 18th. I was able to place 1st for handcycles and set a record on the new course of 1:13:02. March has mostly been a focus on training and increasing fitness for the upcoming World cups. The first two world cups will be held in Italy and Belgium at...
Me and fellow Team PossAbilities racer Travis Gaertner The 2023 race season is upon us and the first race of the season is a good one. Valley of the Sun stage race is the first race for me this season held in sunny Phoenix Arizona. I'm always very excited to do this race and it's also a great way to gage how good fitness is this early in the season. It's a great...
It's a new year which means a new racing season is upon us. It seems like at the start of every season brings new hopes and goals. Every year I want to learn more, train more, race more, and grow more as an athlete. This year is no different for me. Now that I've quit working part time and will be focusing more on training, I am hoping this extra time will take...
The world cups are back and this year will be my second year attending this event and I was hoping more experience would come with better results. The first world cup would be held in Ostende Belgium which was primarily a flat course and suits what I do best which is flat and fast time trials. Last year at this event I had my best race ever as far as a...
