Mike has led the lifestyle of a dedicated mountain bike racer for 17 years. In 2009, Mike was nominated for the Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame. After many years of racing, Mike had transitioned to a slower pace of life. Mike moved from a busy town in Colorado to a quite remote area in Idaho. In this episode, we talk a lot about Mike’s transition from a busy lifestyle competing and pushing the envelope to a slower pace where Mike can witness his imminent world work in intimate ways. Mike also loves to use packrafts to explore waterways. Packrafts are inflatable lightweight rafts that can be packed in a backpack for long distances.

Mike has thorough expertise in building custom bike rims which can be seen on LaceMine29.com.
