Meet The Coach COACHING PHILOSOPHY    I have been involved in bicycle racing for since 1980 and I was riding recreationally for 5 years befor that. I can honestly say that cycling has become part of who I am and it's what I do! I stay in it for the fitness, the competition, the camaraderie and all the cool gear.  To me cycling is the greatest sport there is. It's brutal, colorful, dangerous, glorious! To be successful you need extreme dedication, and stamina. You can also be successful on various levels. One person might be a successful cyclist by loosing 25 pounds and regaining their health and vitality. Another persons success might be to keep up with the leaders on the weekly group ride. Yet another persons success might be to win an Olympic gold medal. success can be viewed as being relative to your goals, your current fitness level and your age. My Goal is to help you achieve your goals!    I started getting interested in coaching because I want to help other people to get more out of the sport and more out of life. Participating in a sport like cycling, leads to a healthier lifestyle. Over the years I have helped numerous people to get started in cycling, or improve their ability. Whether you are just getting started, or if you've been riding for a few years and are now ready to take it to the next level, I can help you! Depending on your goals, your coaching may involve developing a plan as a one time deal or you may require periodic follow up. Whatever your needs are, I will do my best to accommodate you.
