Favorite place to ride | The remote high country near Silverton Colorado. The trails are raw and the views are spectacular. |
Favorite race | Grand Junction Epic Rides in Colorado. This event has a fun vibe and the riding requires real bike handling skills |
Favorite race bike | Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 29 |
Best race memory | As a junior, there was a race in Telluride, Colorado. I was camping with my family and it rained all night before. I didn’t even want to race because of how cold and wet it was. But all my friends were doing it and I motivated to line up. Turned out to be the most fun mud-fest race. Racing in unique conditions with good friends is always blast! |
Other interests | Backcountry skiing |
Dream vacation spot | Either ski vacation in the French Alps or a bike tour through New Zealand |
If I weren't a pro cyclist | I'd be some sort of mountain guide |
Career goal | Spread the love of cycling, and build a fun culture around mountain bike racing |
