2016 is a rebuilding year for Team Hammerfest. The movie is finally hitting the digital shelves and I am currently trying to decide whether or not to take another run at The Trans-Am or jump on the Tour Divide. Regardless of all the spoons in the air I am still training and riding between work and school. Jiles is once again crewing for George Thomas. This marks his 5th straight year on course and I'm chomping at the bit to get back out there and tear up some pavement. Either way, If you want to see the Hammer's rookie year rent The Hammer on iTunes.

FactsI have been an endurance athlete for 19 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. Now, I'm just lurking in the grass like a snake waiting for the right time to strike. |
