PROFESSIONAL CYCLIST
I’ve just returned home from my mountainous adventure, which started in Mammoth last month. I’ve been at altitude training and racing ever since, and it’s paid off in spectacular fashion! I have won the King of the Mountains Jersey at the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado! I think fondly of my time in Mammoth, and I can’t wait to return. I hope it won’t be too long!

Mammoth Lakes is a triathlete’s dream. You can swim in Whitmore Pool, ride Benton Crossing Road, and then run tempo on the road and finish up on the track.

I’ve trained at the best facilities in the world and this place has all you need. You can train hard and then rest. It’s easy to get here and it’s beautiful. What’s not to love?

I grew up racing here because it’s close to my home in Reno. It’s the perfect hill, plus they were willing to work with me and eager to make it happen. The staff here knows how to build jumps.

It takes awhile to adjust to the altitude, so you need a minimum of 10 days here to make the training effective. It’s at the optimum altitude. You can get to 9,000 or 10,000 feet easily, which is good training for upcoming races.

Mammoth Lakes is a cool town. And it’s definitely on the short list of California spots for altitude training. You basically ride your bike and rest. Recovery is a big aspect of training, especially at altitude.

WORLD DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKE CHAMPION
I held my first-ever, three day mountain bike retreat at Mammoth Mountain in 2014. I’ve been doing single day camps and private lessons for five years and I wanted to create something that was more of a retreat.

OLYMPIC MEDALIST AND AMERICAN MARATHON RECORD HOLDER
I not only train in Mammoth Lakes, I live here full-timeserve as the President of the Mammoth Track Club. My coaches can talk at length about the many physiological benefits of training at altitude. For me, the benefit comes from living the simplicity of a runner’s lifestyle in the most scenic places on earth.

Being here (Mammoth Lakes), I can turn off my cell phone and soak up what’s around me. That’s good for a high-level athlete, and anyone else for that matter.

I not only train in Mammoth Lakes, I live here full-time. I’d always run trails and Mammoth Lakes invites you to run trails. You’re steps from single track or backcountry trails.

The more time at altitude, the merrier: the training up here is so good. Coming up here and riding will put you heads and tails above those who don’t.

The biggest challenge when you go to new places is that sometimes you can’t find good routes. But here that hasn’t been a problem. There are so many options—it’s been really, really good. There is every type of terrain for every type of workout that I want to do.

I am getting in a really good hard week of training here. This is such good terrain to train on because it’ll be very similar country to the Alps.
