Coaching for Masters Cyclists, Grounded in Experience

My path to cycling was not a conventional one

Before cycling became my primary sport, I spent 25 years rock climbing, including climbing trips to Yosemite. Climbing taught me the value of preparation, sound judgement, managing risk and staying focused when conditions become difficult.

I later brought those lessons to mountain biking, cyclocross and endurance racing. Over several decades of competition, I have learned how training, recovery, technical skills, equipment and race decisions need to work together.

As a masters cyclist, I also understand that training capacity changes with age. Progress depends on balancing appropriate training stress with recovery, health, work, family and the other demands of life.
