Strong Performances in Europe Build Momentum Toward World ChampionshipsThe 2026 UCI Para-cycling World Cup season brought me back to Europe for World Cup rounds two and three, and I’m leaving the trip encouraged by the progress I've made and excited about what lies ahead. World Cup 2 – BelgiumBelgium has become a familiar stop on the World Cup circuit, and this year marked my sixth consecutive season racing there. The...
Hi everyone! Another month and another event in the books.This one was a World Cup in Florida which was a much shorter trip than usual. It was also a mid season, mid busiest time of my life event so I came in pretty wiped out and it showed. While my performance wasn't great it also wasn't unexpected. As much as I would love to be at 100% for every event sometimes it just isn't possible.That said things with work and...
Winning the World Cup TT in Belgium was one of those days where everything finally clicked. I flew in just one day before the race, so the turnaround was tight, but I actually felt surprisingly good considering the international travel. The course itself was pretty intuitive, but I arrived after it had already closed for recon, so I had to rely on studying the map and watching other riders instead of getting a proper lap in. My plan going in...
Hello! Another month and some big improvements have been made! i was lucky enough to be invited to a training camp in Rome, Italy and have been out there for a few weeks training with some of the best in the world. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back! Also after 6 years I finally got a uniform replacement with some very nice Italian stuff :). I am flying home from the camp straight into our...
Flying back to the States from Nice, France, I felt prepared and genuinely excited to start the season. Meeting the team the day before the race was a great experience—the environment was positive, supportive, and honestly refreshing. It felt good to be around people who were focused and motivated in the same way. Stage 1 was an individual time trial at Perris Lake, a course that suited me well. My warm‑up felt smooth, and I was confident in the plan I...
Hello my friends, We have so much to talk and uncover from the Paralympics, if we were to meet this could be a long conversation! It was so much fun and a fairytale in itself. It had great moments, historical moments and also scary moments. Having my family there with me was priceless, it was the first time they watched me competing in Snowboarding. I was feeling so ready and so confident because I was coming from a really good training camp pre-games, and...
As the 2026 world cup season kicks off i traveled to Thailand for World Cup #1. The event was hosted in Chaing Mai where the temperatures would be in the 90's and the course would prove to be a challenging one. While this world cup had a lack of numbers in the categories it was not short of high level competition. Heading to Thailand i had high hopes of a podium performance in...
Pretty excited to finally get the race season rolling. After a winter fully dedicated to training, long hours on the bike, and a lot of behind‑the‑scenes work, it feels good to be getting close to pinning a number on again. There’s something about that shift from base season to race season that always brings a mix of nerves, motivation, and curiosity—just wanting to see where the legs are at after months of steady work. My first race of the year will...
Id like to take this time to talk about something other than racing or handcycling. Something that has turned my life around and has made me a better man. Before I was in a wheelchair I dont like to say it but I was not a believer in the lord. Due to past childhood issues I always had a negative connotation associated with church. When I was a child...
Hello folks, Next on our agenda was a World Cup of banked slalom, excellent race & training before the Cortina Paralympics. This venue for me is as easy as it gets, one direct (2hr) flight & a 3hr drive - too easy! The course was fantastic, well built and we got to train on it for 3 days, which was awesome! Only problem we couldn’t control was the heat, it got too hot and even rained, but thankfully was the night after the...
