As the Race Director for SEASONS OF ROTHROCK ADVENTURES, I’ve spent the last six years immersed in organizing exhilarating mountain bike and gravel bike events. My passion for cycling runs deep—it’s a liberating pursuit that lets me connect with nature and push my limits.
My partnership with Hammer Nutrition has been going strong for the past four years. I’ve developed a real appreciation for their products, and a few have become my go-tos. Recoverite, especially the Café Latte flavor mixed with almond milk, is a favorite post-ride recovery treat, particularly after a challenging summer ride. I also rely on the Oatmeal Apple Bar for sustained energy during endurance races or as a quick pick-me-up, Liquid Endurance for race prep, and caffeinated Hammer Gels for both racing and training.
One of the reasons I’ve stayed loyal to Hammer is the incredible support I’ve received from Flav. The quality of the products is essential, but it’s the enduring relationships and the way they’ve consistently supported me and my team that really stand out.
It’s hard to pick just one favorite memory as a Race Director. Every event is a blend of joy, pain, stress, victory, challenge, and sometimes even injuries. But what really resonates with me are the stories shared by the racers—stories of their experiences, trials, and triumphs. Witnessing those personal journeys brings me so much joy, especially when participants come back to conquer a particularly demanding course. Despite the occasional setbacks, I’m incredibly lucky to have a dedicated team of individuals who selflessly contribute their time, skills, and energy to fostering a thriving cycling community here in Rothrock State Forest.
