This year's motto is No More. No More Soft Pedaling, No More Stopping, No More Wasting Time. We're approaching 2015 like it's our last shot at this. After three years of on-road education, we're finally going to get RAAM done right. Right by us will be finishing in a time that starts with an 8, and knowing that every section was done to its utmost, without question. This will be my fourth consecutive year of racing cross-country to enjoy an always awaiting beer on the pier courtesy of Miss D, and this year the team and I are gonna deserve really, really big beers. It'd also really be nice to cross the finish line to a nod of approval from June that conveys "Job well done Hammer."

FactsI have been an endurance athlete for 15 years.
In 2010 I had both knees rebuilt with screws and pins to fix a genetic abnormality. In 2012 during my first RAAM I was hit, run over, and dragged by a vehicle while riding through Kayenta, AZ. I was released from the hospital 7 hours later and rode the remaining 2,300 miles to finish in 8th place. In 2013 I came back with a new mentality; lighter, faster, stronger. I shaved 30 hrs off my 2012 time and set a new Canadian record. In 2014 I competed in the inaugural Trans Am Bike Race and placed 2nd in the 4,300 mile self supported race behind legendary ultra-cyclist Mike Hall. |
The HammerThe Hammer is a feature length documentary about my 2012 race scheduled to release in the summer of 2015. Stay tuned to TheHammerFilm.net for details.
