Nick on the 2nd place podium at Winter Park
Cycling Background
Grew up in Iowa and rode some BMX and a little road; started riding MTB 6 years ago and racing 2 years ago.
I will never forget my first time riding up Tower Road. I was with Sean Grey and this big crazy-looking guy shows up (Greg Scanlan). We didn’t start off on the best foot because I called him a “personal trainer” and he didn’t really like that – he’s a “strength coach.” I think that’s why he killed me climbing up Towers. He kept on trying to talk to me and I couldn’t find a second even to catch my breath. Remember, this is when I just moved from Iowa. He told me he was helping me by talking to me and knew what he was trying to do. Thanks, Greg, for breaking me in!
