the spring races: small town, grass roots style

ride the lightning
A mass start from the horse barn at the Cortez fairgrounds, racers smiling, local media on the scene. Lisa shakin her groove thang for the camera man. Lea’s face as she looks back to see a herd of Sport guys racing us to the single track. McKenzie killin it. Post race spaghetti feast, dogs rolling in the dirt, race tales and crafty awards.

thank you for coming to Gallup
Nothing but love from the town. Promoters handing over endless envelopes of cash and my favorite event - street sprints - 300 meters down old Hwy 66. Mix it up with a big lap mountain bike race, a downtown crit and a road race through the state park - all in 2 days.

Miles bridging the gap, downtown Gallup, NM

beat the train
An epic ride from Durango to Silverton. Two mountain passes, 5600 ft of climbing, roads closed to cars, thousands of riders each with their own goal. Family and friends hanging out, riding, racing and celebrating the legendary cycling town I call home.
