Coaching, training plans, & consultations

Using my experience to help you find success

With a professional background (in what now feels like a past lifetime) as an educator, I’m always excited to help guide and teach others. What do I bring to the table when it comes to bikepacking and ultra racing experience that I have to share?

I've been racing ultras/bikepacking events since 2008 and have amassed more than 35 finishes (nearly all of them wins and many of them course records) with fewer than a dozen DNFs
I've been coaching endurance cyclists and ultra racers since 2015, helping athletes earn wins (and personal bests!) in Tour Divide, the Highland Trail 550, the Arizona Trail Race, 24 Hour World Championships, the Fat Pursuit winter ultra, NUE 100-milers, and many more events.
I've bikepacked extensively around the world (>20,000 miles), including both self-created routes and some of the toughest trails out there like the Iditarod and Continental Divide Trails
I co-authored the first-ever how-to book on bikepacking (The Bikepacker's Guide, now in it's 2nd edition, updated by Kait Boyle)
I co-developed and taught 3 times Geology through Bikepacking for Prescott College, the first-ever college-level bikepacking course

All that helps me meet you where you’re at in pursuit of your riding goals, whether you’re aiming to go fast in race mode or adventure at a slower pace. And no matter what, I’m going to prioritize your enjoyment of the process, because, after all, it’s just bikes, and bikes are inherently fun.
