For 2017 I am a proud member of 9Seventy Racing, a northern Colorado-based multi-sport racing team.

9seventy Racing is a Colorado multi-sport racing team founded in Fort Collins.  Our athletes have a passion for racing, and we strongly believe that competing and achieving individual goals represents a path to personal growth. Our disciplines include, but are not limited to cycling, running, triathlons and snowsports.  Our athletes participate in events that cover the spectrum, ranging from local grassroots races to international Ironman competitions. Our current roster includes triathletes, transAmerican riders, ultramarathon runners, cross country skiers and cyclists involved in road, mountain, and cyclocross races.

The Original 100% Silicone Grips!  So excited to announce support from ESI Grips for my 2016 mountain bike race season.  I’ve been using these grips on my bikes since last year, and finally have found the perfect blend of comfort and looks!  Available in all sorts of colors (including multi colored combinations), you can find these on bikes from local races up to World Cup podiums.  Check them out today!  Plus they’re made in the USA!

 

I am a Tailwind Trailblazer for 2016!  I started using Tailwind during my 2015 endurance mountain bike season as an attempt to figure out on the bike nutrition in an easy to use package… Tailwind was the answer!  Now it’s my go to nutrition source for training, cross country racing, road racing, and more!

Tailwind combines complete fuel, hydration, and electrolytes in a tasty drink that won’t turn your stomach into a brick.

Tailwind mixes with water to meet your calorie, hydration, and electrolyte needs, no matter how big a day’s in front of you. Deliberately mild, customers describe the flavors as “clean” and “light” with a mouth feel as close to water as you can get while still meeting your nutrition needs.

 

 

Fat biking is a new love of mine, and for 2016 I am happy to be working with Dirt Components, maker of the Thumper carbon fat bike wheels!  I look forward to dropping the pounds and making my smile even bigger on my fat bike!

It took us a long time to develop the rim on our wheel set, and we’re very proud to be able to produce this for you. With a short shelf, a deep inner profile and a locking, hookless bead tubeless set up is a breeze. Add into that our desire for a forgiving mountain trail experience we decided against a deep profile rim, and went with as short a profile as we could manufacture without making it a single wall. At 82mm, this is the wheel set that will rule all the terrain you can throw at it from Maine to Southern California. Enjoy the work we did, it’s about time your fat bike lost some weight!

 

Take the ass out of ambassador!  I am so excited to be a 2017 member of the Pearl Izumi Ambadors!

I shall only partake in this
crazy sport I love, because I love it.

And I will quit when I quit loving it.

I am a representative of this sport.

As such, I will do my part to take
the “ass” out of ambassador.
