TESTIMONIALS
"I have always casually raced but never rode with any goals or discipline, This year, Chris helped me prepare for the BC Bike Race - a 7-day stage mountain bike race in British Columbia. Not only did I finish but really felt steady and stronger each day of the race with no overuse problems. He also helped customize my riding around my odd work schedule and personal goals. My confidence increased and my fitness level dramatically improved. I always considered myself fit but now I feel fresh at the end of long rides that would have killed me. I also found solo rides more fun because I had specific goals in mind to challenge me. I look forward to using things I learned when racing in the future."

"Your Transsylvania Epic specific training plan was spot-on and I was thrilled to not only finish the TSE, but finish it feeling good and still strong on day 7. I’ve never experienced “peak fitness” before, even after all these years of racing. It was an awesome feeling to be so ready for the TSE. Thank you SO much for all your help in preparing for this."

-Jill
"Chris' wealth of knowledge and experience helped me reach the podium in several endurance mountain bike races in 2008 after a career change cut my available training hours in half. His training plan was comprehensive and progressive and always fun to follow. I gained confidence knowing my workouts and techniques were backed up by countless victories and successes. The workouts Chris provided me with translated to results. He wrote the book on endurance mountain bike racing, and I consider myself fortunate to train and race with him."

From years of racing and winning elite level endurance events, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in how to complete and excel in these races.  I want to share this with other athletes and help them reach their goals. My experience in endurance mountain bike races, including marathons, 100 milers, multi day stage races and 24 hour races is second to none.  In fact, I have probably raced the event you are preparing for and know it inside and out.
