I've been a competitive cyclist since '86. I've raced road in the USA and Europe and I've represented the USA twice at the World Military Cycling Championships. I swapped my skinny tires for +2" tires in 2010 and started my journey towards 24hour and +100 mile MTB races. I soon realized I needed a real fueling strategy to get me to the finish. My research led me to Hammer Nutrition. Through the use of HEED, Perpetuem, and Gel I realized I found the solution to my problem. After numerous podium finishes later, I'm still relying on Hammer to get me to the finish line feeling strong.
