This is where I made my World Cup debut in 2023 and was my first race ever on the Team USA roster. I finished P-7 in the Time Trial, P-6 in the Road Race. I came back in 2024 with Team PossAbilities support and finished P-4 in the Time Trial, P-3 in the Road Race. Getting on the podium last year gave me a good feeling coming back here in 2025! 2025 World Cup #2 in Maniago, Italy - ...
If you read my March blog, you know I didn't qualify for the Team USA World Cup Roster despite my past 2 years of being the top ranked men's handcyclist in the country. The good news is that I have the amazing support of Team PossAbilities which allowed me to go to Europe, compete in both World Cups, do my thing and secure my spot on the USA World Championships roster... and I got to do it all in our...
I'm currently in Ostend, Belgium to begin the 2025 World Cup Season! If you read my previous blog, you know the US Paralympics Time Trial in Huntsville, Alabama last month didn't go how I was expecting it to. I can't help but notice a pattern the past few years of myself under performing my own expectations at our domestic selection events. The good news is that I've also shown a pattern of performing my very best power numbers at the World...
Last week I headed to Huntsville for the U.S. Paralympics Cycling Time Trial. This course has been good for me in previous years so I was very excited to come back and show the progress I've been making during this off season. A quick 12 hour drive from Pennsylvania to Alabama on Tuesday, then the next 3 days to get some warmer outdoor rides in on the course. Over these days I was feeling amazing and fully prepared to have...
Over the past few weeks many racers headed to Florida and Arizona for team camps and the popular season opener races. This year I decided to stay home and focus on uninterrupted training as I build towards my first race of 2025 on March 29th in Huntsville, Alabama. While Pennsylvania is not good weather to be training outdoors during the winter months, I have set everything up so I can do all of my training and recovery work right here,...
The new year is here and I'm excited to continue into 2025 with Team PossAbilities and the USA National Team. The new year comes a new race schedule so I'll start out by letting you know when and where I will be racing throughout this season and keep you updated on the details and race recaps as the year goes on. March 29th - US Paralympics Cycling Time Trial - Huntsville, Alabama. This race will consist of the best...
2024 was my best and busiest year yet! Here's some highlights from this past year.... 2024 was my first full year on the USA National A team after my debut international season in 2023. This race season started off early in January with World Cup 1 in Australia! This race was pretty exciting for me as Australia has always been a bucket list destination for a kid that grew up watching The Crocodile Hunter. On top of that we got to race...
As my race season came to an end in September after the Paralympics, that brings me into my "off season". Upon getting home from Paris, I took 11 days off of my bike while also trying to rest and recover from Covid. I typically don't go this long without riding as it's such a huge part of my life, the days feel long when I don't ride at all. I prefer to drastically reduce the intensity and time while continuing...
The 2024 Paralympics have came and gone. I am incredibly honored to have qualified and for the opportunity to represent Team USA on the biggest stage in our sport. So much preparation has gone into making sure my bike, my mind and my body were all ready to perform at 100% for this race. Everything was aligning for this to be one of my best races of the year... until 4 days prior to my first race. What started as a...
You read that right! Myself and PossAbilites teammate, Elouan have both qualified for the 2024 Paralympics in Paris! Seven years ago when I did my first handcycle race, I had no idea how much this sport would change my life. Since then, I've raced all over the country and all over the world... Australia, Belgium, Italy, Scotland, and next up, Paris! My bike has taken me to amazing places and introduced me to amazing friends. Next month we will head to...
