Hey Everyone!
Before I get into the whole shindig, the swag options are down below and if you would like them, PLEASE leave your address for me after donating so I can get all this swag sent out!
Another season of exciting cross racing is almost to an end. Nationals being a lot earlier than normal this year, it has given me a lot of time to reflect and focus on the future. With a good season this year and a lot of hard work not just from my end, but from my team's end, sponsors, family, and friends, I have been given the opportunity to travel to Europe to start my Worlds block of racing.
This, being my last year as a 17-18 and moving up into the official U23 field next year, I want to get as much Europen racing experience as possible. I'm excited to announce that I will be heading to Europe early to compete in the last two world cups of the season! I will be flying into France to race the Pont-Château Cyclocross World Cup on the 20th, then to the Netherlands for Hoogerheide Provincie Noord-Brabant World Cup on the 27th. Finally the big day, February 3rd, U23 World Championships in Bogense, Denmark. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to represent the United States again in Europe!
All of the funds raised on my RallyMe will be put towards the cost of airfare and will be used to offset the prices of baggage fees, transportation, lodging and all other expenses to and from Europe. Including between both World Cups and World Championships.
I am beyond grateful for the amount of support given to help me succeed throughout my cycling career. There are so many people in my life who have shaped and mentored me, who have spent countless hours making my goals reality. Without my friends, family, and team supporting me and standing beside me none of this could be possible!
Thank you to the USAC Dev Foundation and the Wyatt Weisel Memorial Fund helping contribute to my trip and make my goal for achievable by matching 800 dollars towards my RallyMe! The Wyatt Weisel Memorial Fund is giving back to all our the USA athletes for the worlds trip! https://www.usacycling.org/foundation/wyatt-weisel-memorial-fund
Alpha Bicycle Company - Groove Subaru, isn't just my team but my family. With the bad days and good days, we have always been there for one another. This team is the dream team. I am so grateful for the sponsors who have helped grow our team and make it into the successful team we are today. A big shoutout always to my Utah Family who has helped shape me into the racer and person I am today. Thank you to everyone at The Miller School, my coaches, teachers, and friends. This school makes me feel at home and lets me know I'm still a teenager with an incredible life other than cycling. A big thank you to my coach who I just started working with this cross season, Jim Lehman! And the biggest thank you to my family back home in Park City. This sport takes a lot out of you sometimes and I'm grateful to have my family standing by me even in the worst of times and to keep me motivated and happy along the way.

Anonymous | I remember you passing me at one of the local races in Utah years ago. As a grown man I should have been upset. The fact you were wearing the Stars and Stripes helped me get over it. I also remember our son, in his younger days passing the hat for donations to help get him to his first European races. A lot of people he didn’t know donated generously. Further on up the road, I’m happy to have the opportunity to do the same for you. Never forget, throughout it all to have FUN...after all you’re riding a bicycle! |
