Behind the scenes, our coaches are chasing goals too ⬇️

We spend a lot of time helping athletes set and chase their goals. One of the cool things about our coaching staff is that we’re athletes too - still training, still learning, still putting ourselves out there.

As we head into 2026, we wanted to share a bit of what our coaches are working toward.

For a long time, Coach John Wessling has been chasing mountain bike racing at the highest level. This year, he’s focused on becoming a more well-rounded athlete - competing across disciplines while continuing to pursue big goals in mountain biking. 

John’s goals for the year:

Be competitive (top 50) in the 50 km American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race. It has been 11 years since he last crossed an XC ski finish line.

Become a better and more well-rounded athlete by doing more running & strength training on top of his typical cycling training.

Go under 7 hours at the 2026 Leadville 100 MTB race.

Goals like these keep us motivated. They give structure to the work, direction to the training, and a reason to show up on the days it would be easier not to.
