Chris RECH
I am 16 years old and a junior at Central High School. My brother introduced me to mountain biking this past June and I even entered the Pickett’s Charge race on my dad’s old Trek. I was hooked!!! (Evan has since helped me secure a more durable bike!) I’ve been involved in sports all my life: baseball, basketball, soccer, and football, but mountain biking is a sport all it’s own! So far I’ve ridden with some the other guys and learned a lot already. Jeremy invited us to work out on his track to prepare us for Salem’s Short Track Series. That event was a blast! Ryan helps me train for longer distances and gives great advice! This team has given me the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, create my own goals, and strengthen my legs which will help my pitching. I look forward to participating in cyclocross this Fall and helping to create a high school ‘cross team at my school.
