I am currently spending the summer in my hometown of Taos, NM after taking a year off of Middlebury College to race and train in South America. I have started a Professional mountain bike and cyclocross race team called Transparent Racing (http://transparentracing.blogspot.com) and will be continuing to work on building the team. My big goal of the year is to make the 2009 U23 World Championships team. Wish me luck!
