This year I really wanted to add some additional “fun” races into my schedule just because I love racing. With the Lifetime Grand Prix’s continued competitive escalation, it’s easy to become hyper-focused on those events exclusively because they really could captivate all of your attention. That’s only 6 races a year, though, and as someone … More Grand Junction Rides & Vibes

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been coming to Sea Otter for 16 years. It really does feel like just yesterday I was a little kid running around this venue absolutely in awe of all of the athletes, bikes, and races available. To be totally honest, I often feel imposter syndrome now as I walk … More Sea Otter Classic 2026

This weekend at the Cactus Cup, as I threw my leg over my bike to warm up for the 1st of 3 hard races in just 2 days, I thought to myself, “I’m so happy to be here.” Don’t get me wrong, the Cactus Cup is a big race in its own right with years … More The Cactus Cup: Stage Race

Every time I line up to race, I want to find my limits. I want to expand my capabilities. I want to have new experiences and learn how I can step up to the plate to respond. I’m on an infinite pursuit to be the best that I can be. And the best way for … More XCM World Cup: Costa Blanca

This was the 3rd year in a row that I decided to start my season at the Mediterranean Epic in southern Spain. I love starting my season here because the course gives you a bit of everything to practice early in the year – long climbs, technical descents, short and fast stages, and some longer … More Mediterranean Epic 2026

On Saturday morning at 4:30 am my hand reached for my phone and opened the weather app before even silencing the alarm. The day before the rumor mills had been working overtime building up the coming weather. Some people claimed that severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornados were making their way to Bentonville, Arkansas while others … More Big Sugar Gravel

I’ve been looking forward to Little Sugar all year, because within the scope of the Grand Prix, it’s the only singletrack mountain bike race. While I love the challenge of the gravel events, being the fact that I have a mountain bike background, the singletrack is where I feel most at home.   I think … More Little Sugar Mountain Bike

I’ve been racing for a long time. The stakes have gotten higher, expectations have raised, and the overall intensity has continued to elevate. But what’s interesting, is the emotions seem to raise as well.  In some ways, I would have guessed that I would mellow over the years. I would have thought the excitement would … More Chequamegon

It’s hard to believe that this was my 6th time pulling on the USA skinsuit to represent my country at a mountain bike World Championship event. Each time I’ve been named to the World’s team, my expectations of myself have been raised, but the weight of wearing that jersey never lessens, and honestly, I hope it … More 2025 World Championship

Watch the Film! https://youtu.be/vohBABimUoU The night before the White Rim FKT I sat on the edge of the bed in the Airbnb looking at all of my notes, nutrition, and equipment laid out in front of me.  I looked up at Clayton and said, “I’m not sure if I’m ready.” He responded, “We’ve been planning … More The White Rim FKT
