Time For A Reset

October has been great for resetting right before training for the 2025 season will start to ramp up. There really is no offseason in cycling. People ask me all the time when do I take time off.... The answer is very rarely. While I'm not on a strict training schedule I do ride 6 days a week almost year round. Typically...

The Offseason Brings New Goals

Since the paralympic trials I have enjoying some time to reset and recover after the last few years of training towards making the paralympic team. Don't worry though the goal of making a paralympic team doesn't stop there. I will continue intense training soon in hopes of making it to the 2028 paralympics which will be in my home state of California. With how much paracycling is getting faster and more talented every year,...

2024 Paralympic Trials

On race day to say I was confident in my abilities would have been a lie but I did alot of praying leading up to this race and I told myself no matter what happens this is where God wanted me to be. Whether it's in Paris or at home with my family I will trust in God's plan for me and be thankful for this opportunity. I think more pressure...

How to prepare for racing or riding during summer heat

. It's getting closer and closer to summer which for alot of us means riding in the heat. For some riding in the heat is welcomed if you're from a place that has snow and very cold climates during winter months. For myself located in sunny California the summer means triple digit heat and lots of sunburns. With the most important race...

World Cups 2 & 3

World Cup Qualifier

Myself leading the lead group in the road race qualifier It was the morning of the time trial and I was feeling great. I had got plenty of rest and was ready to go out and leave it all out there on the course. However, the weather had its own agenda and the wind on this day was fierce. Wind blowing a steady 20 mph with 30 mph gusts was going to make...

California Training

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...

World Cup 1 “The Land Down Under”

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...
