After a not so stellar prep after blowing my elbow up a couple weeks ago at North Slope I’m very pleased to have pulled off a 1st place finish today at Raging River. Typically I would have been on the bike 2-3x/week for the last couple weeks along with the same amount in the gym but I tried to play it smart vs push through it like the hardheaded person I am. I literally did nothing for the past two weeks trying to let it heal. That’s harder for me than any day on the bike or session in the gym. Thank’s for another great race.

Congrats to M2 Fitness trainer Rik on his 6th place finish in last weekends in physique. Hard work and dedication pays off 💪🏻💪🏻

First race of the 2026 Cascadia Dirt Cup in the bag. Great start to the season with a 2nd place. North Slope is such a great trail system. always putting on great events.

Today was a very challenging finish to the XC season. Not only was it the final race of the season but also the WSBA State Championship so the ringers showed up. I got 4th place today to said 3 ringers who hadn’t raced with us all season. I have work to do for next season. In the end I got three 1st places, three 2nd places and today’s 4th. That said, I clinched the overall series win for the CAT 2, 40+ males (best 5 out of 7 races). Big thank you to .lap.bike for putting on a great series, I look forward to next year. I started this series as an experiment to see if it would help me for the series that’s my main focus. We’ll see if it helped 🤷🏻 Also a big thank you to and for helping me snag my Norco Revolver. That bike is a rocket.

Another great race put on by .lap.bike. Besides the long haul out to Coupeville, Kettles might be my favorite venue so far. Definitely a sufferfest with all those punchy climbs. Trails were a bit sloppy but no rain and even the occasional sun.

Tough day of racing with a big mechanical issue on lap one but was able to claw myself back to a 2nd place finish. .lap.bike killin’ it again with a super fun course.
