Playing with a new toy, a short video with my new DJI NEO

Cycling has always been an activity that I simply do to workout or have fun. My dad would always take me out to go mountain biking, and then eventually we started road cycling together; something I absolutely fell in love with.

Personally, 2023 was a good year. Like any other, it had its ups and downs, but overall, most of the habits and patterns I developed are worth repeating. 

I recently had the opportunity to re-build Steve Hampsten’s website

I became the QMTB Trail Boss several years ago because I wanted to have an impact on the trails I often ride at Quantico.

I was fortunate to have video guru Drew Geraci of District 7 Media put together this short profile of me. In it I talk about my books and my passion for riding trails.

Our community lost a gem on Sunday, Aug 30 in a freak cycling accident. All of us who knew Pete were devastated and heart broken by the news. Pete was one of the most loving and compassionate person I had ever met, and I, along with many other of his friends shared a special bond with him.  I was honored when his wife asked me asked to speak to Pete's friends and family during his memorial services. This is what I said...

I spent the evening with Will Niccolls, host of the Angry Mountain Biker, to talk about mountain biking in the Washington DC, Maryland and Baltimore regions

I spoke to James , developer of Yazda and Trail Status, a few weeks ago to ask what prompted him to pick up and move to Colorado, all while in the process of developing his apps.

Over the past few weeks I reached out to two local photographers who specialize in Cycling Photography to talk about their craft, how they got into shooting, and what they love about documenting cycling and the athletes that practice our sport.

An interview with Jim Harman, founder of EX2 Adventures, and Holly Fisher, of SCORE, on what's in store in 2016 for adventure racing around DC.

Mountain Biking in the DC Region would not be what it is today without the efforts of MORE’s current President: Ernie Rodriguez.

Remembering Scott Scudamore...

The Little Bellas Camp is more than just about riding, their focus is not to churn out little racers; instead, the program is aimed at showing girls 7-14 the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, goal-setting, and building teamwork. All of it using mountain biking as the "fun" vehicle to build strong bonds with each other. Their hope is to ensure that the girls remain with the sport beyond their teenage years.

As I explain in the acknowledgement section of the book I could not have completed it without the help of many people. Throughout the book I have placed a “you may run into” sidebar highlighting an individual who has not only made a contribution to my cycling experience, but who has also impacted the community around them in one way or another through their involvement in the sport.
