Eagle, ID — I’ve been contemplating what team to ride for next season and just made my decision to ride for Intermountain Orthopaedics (aka, Lost River). There were a number of reason why I went this direction, but I won’t bore you with the details. I am excited to ride with a team again, since the IMT/BOC elite team has been dwindling over past year. At most races we only had 1-2 riders in the Pro/1/2 field. Ted Burgess, who rides for Lost River has been trying to recruit me over to Lost River the last couple months. Ted, although not taking a complete sabbatical, has also adjusted his work schedule to ride and race at a higher level next season. To be honest, he was one of the main reasons for my decision. We have similar goals and have targeted many of the same regional races. So at least at those races we’ll each have at least one teammate!
