I'm a teacher and coach at Ashland High School in Ashland, Oregon. For the past four years, while I was living and working at Eugene's Willamette High School (where I ran a local cycling team) it was my privilege to watch Sam Rosenberg develop into one of the top junior bike racers in the United States. I started this blog with one purpose: to help Sam get to Europe to race and train with the best. He's a great kid, on and off the bike, and what would be cooler than to see one of our own go on to great things in this sport we love!
