Testimonials

These Folks are MAD about our Services!

I think this experience was pretty much "everything that is right with cyclocross". John and his team should be very proud, easy parking, very nice start area, inflatables, creative use of grass, long stretches and short sections, lots of variability, tight turns, open turns, not just hairpins. Normal and small barriers allowed hopping and running. Course was set such that there was great viewing from multiple places. Fun venue, great small town, friendly people, everything you could ask for."

-Doug Gordon, President of BRAC"Merry Treadmas" - Western Slope Racing At It's Finest.

"This is one of the best courses in the state," he said, grinning. "I love racing this park.
"The section in the woods really challenges the bike handling. The up and down with a lot of steep climbs, then the grassy sections you really have to put the power down, so it's a good mix."

I just did my first XC clinic with John. I only have a mountain bike but all of the skills are the same. The clinic was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. John is an effective and personable teacher. My highest recommendation!

Super fun, flowing, well thought out courses that test all the skills & fitness needed in Cross! Too bad John has to run the races, because he's actually one of the strongest riders all around Colorado..
That's why the courses are so well designed- for CX races by a Cyclocross Racer!!

Greg MuellerCX Racer

John is such an asset to the cycling community in Western Colorado! So lucky to have someone who is so passionate about getting more folks out to enjoy healthy competition in such a supportive setting. STOKED for more of your events, John! Thanks for all you do!

MAD racing always brings a big smile to my face. The Cyclocross courses are designed with loads of fun obstacles and varied terrain - tight turns, bunny-hopping over wooden planks, or dismounting and carrying your bike over vertical boards which run horizontally across the course. If you are looking to have fun and challenge yourself, then enter a MAD race. You'll quickly become addicted!

John puts his heart and soul into cycling. He is an advocate for all outdoors activity with his passion in cyclocross and other cycling events. He always has a smile to give and coaching advice if asked. He volunteers his time as a coach, but more importantly a mentor. He represents cycling at the highest level. Although John is a Gold medalist (deaf Olympian ). He wants to build the love of cycling from intrinsic love not a guy who has a gold medal. As mentioned above he is deaf. He doesn't let that that get in the way of talking with people and building that cycling love. He is an amazing guy and we are lucky to have him ride bikes with us.
