In my spare time, I love to mountain bike. I was fortunate enough to have a daughter that wanted to ride with her high school team which lead me to taking on coaching duties. One thing is for sure – if you think you are in shape, try chasing a bunch of teenagers up and down the mountains. Apart from an amazing physical effort, coaching kids on a cross country mountain bike team is enough to restore your faith in the younger generation. The effort put in by the kids and the speed with which they learn to manage themselves, and their bikes, is a wonderful thing to see.
Below is the kit I designed for the team during my tenure as coach.
