Looking back on this 2014 season brings quite the list of highlights.  With this being my second year really focusing on mountain biking since primarily Moto racing, my goal was to compete in as many different type of events and podium them all in Cat 2 in order to prepare myself and gain knowledge in becoming a well rounded, strong competitor.  As the season ended, consisting of 3 different series, many long race weekends, plus 7-10 hour work days over summer to riding in the evening, I managed to complete what I set out to do taking series wins in XC, Downhill, and Enduro.  Being able to win all 5 California Enduro rounds that consisted of all new circumstances to me was no doubt a pleasant surprise. Although some were quick to say that I should have raced expert with my comparable times, it was important to me to prove that I was ready.  Northstar DH racing and CCCX XC events kept me on my toes for fitness and skill all season which definitely helped my Enduro strength. Winning both those series for my first time gave me the confidence I needed to make the transition to Expert/Cat 1 for 2015. 

So many great people who helped make this year of traveling possible and I can only grow more excited about making the best of the upcoming new year.  From my parents to SV Cylesport for financial and bike support to the amazing hookups from Monster Army, SPY Optics, Schwalbe Tires, Gamut USA, SRAM, Leatt, Bell Helmets, VP Pedals, and Verasty Clothing.
