Mountain biking was a new way to explore trails when I was burnt out on running. I started chasing a weekly group ride in college, and riding has been a major part of my life ever since. Racing feeds my competitive spirit, testing my physical and mental limits. The longer endurance races are my favorite, as well as multi-sport events. Mountain biking has always been a social activity for me, so races are a great way to meet up with others who love to ride. This is why I am excited to join Team WELD-NRB, to be part of a team dedicated to riding and promoting biking in our community. I hope to offer the team a simplified approach to racing, without specific training or gizmos to monitor miles, heart rate, etc. I prefer to focus on the pure fun of riding and exploring. My happiest experiences biking are what I call adventure rides, exploring new routes with friends. |
