What do you do for cross training? (not cyclocross, but off the bike exercise)?
Snowshoeing, Running, Lifting Swimming. Racquetball. Soccer and Motorcycling.
Do you take time off the bike in the winter?
I ride when it is nice and maybe a couple times a week when it is nasty I ride a trainer.
How do you avoid weight gain in the winter?
I don't. I stay active and I don't gain weight.
What month do you plan on coming into fitness for the 2001 season?
Early March or late February.
What month do you start your pre-season training?
January.
How do you deal with riding in the winter conditions (cold, snow, ice, lack of daylight)?
I wear warm clothes and do other sports that are not as cold to the body as road biking.
What are your goals for the 2001 season?
ummmm....that is tip-top secret...you might want to talk to Paul Buschi about it. He has loose lips.
Is the "pro mountain bike racer" lifestyle as much fun as you thought it would be?
It is more fun.
