Jim’s love for bicycles started when he’d build jumps all over the neighborhood with friends on BMX bikes in the 80’s. Now at 39, he’s racing DH in his 4th season in the Eastern States Cup series. When he isn’t racing, he’s trail riding with his fiance’, whitewater kayaking in the Adirondack Mountains, and still feeling nervous about hitting the road gap on Windham’s UCI World Cup course.
