What do you do for cross training? (not cyclocross, but off the bike exercise)?
Occasionally snowshoe but 99% of training is on the bike.
Do you take time off the bike in the winter?
I didn't sit on the bike once in November or December.
How do you avoid weight gain in the winter?
Train hard on the indoor trainer. And try to eat somewhat healthy.
What month do you plan on coming into fitness for the 2001 season?
March. Have to be in top form for the Sea Otter Classic.
What month do you start your pre-season training?
January 1st.
How do you deal with riding in the winter conditions (cold, snow, ice, lack of daylight)?
Ride indoors.
What are your goals for the 2001 season?
Win races. Umm... I want to win my class for the MNSCS series. Win the Sea Otter. Have a lot of fun.
Is the "pro mountain bike racer" lifestyle as much fun as you thought it would be?
I'm not exactly a pro, but the mountainbike racer lifestyle is pretty fun but a lot of hard work.
