This is the second year I’ve received funding and I’m extremely grateful.

 

 

I’ve been racing bikes now for 7 years, this is my 3rd year racing in the USA

Our team is one of the biggest and most successful team in the USA we have won elite nationals 4 years in a row in the time trail and road race, we have two team captains that were both professionals for many years and a team mechanic which we are very grateful for.

We will be competing in many pro national races around the country including races like the prestigious Tulsa Tough and Redlands Bicycle Classic, also some UCI races too.

 

I’m living in El Dorado Hills for the season with professional cycling legend Evan Huffman who won the KOM jersey in the tour of California last season, he’s a great guy and has really opened his home up to me which is great.

 

We will be riding a 2017 Specialized Tarmac with Di2 components, first time on electric shifting and it works like a dream, our team kit is made by Californian company Capo and it fits like a glove.

 

 

Do you have any other interests outside of cycling?
