Favorite thing about Specialized:
I would have to say my favorite thing about Specialized is the strong support they give through all levels of cycling, ranging anywhere from juniors to U23′s, all the way to the ProTour. I’ve gotten to experience it firsthand racing with the Team Specialized Racing Juniors and now I’ll be taking it to the next level racing as a U23 with Cal Giant/Specialized.
Top 3 Race Results:
- 1st 2011 Jr 17/18 State Time Trial Championship
- 1st 2011 Jr 17/18 State Road Race Championship
- 3rd 2011 Pro/1/2 Folsom Cyclebration Omnium
Favorite way to eat Cal Giant berries:
Chopped up strawberries in yogurt and granola
