Ben had a huge heart and shared it with everyone he met. And, especially in times like this, it's clear that that's all that really matters: smiling with, listening to, and loving each other. ift.tt/2TyKhep

Overdue, but thought I'd finally address the "what's Howard up to" questions. More or less, I decided to take a step back from racing this year because I wasn't feeling the same stoke that I've had in the past for the training/travel/racing grind. Instea… ift.tt/2Xq9QkH

Life's got it's ups and downs (kind of like a bike race 🤔) but it's also in those low points that we discover how many people have got our backs. And as rewarding as bike racing can be, it's been even more important to listen to my body and make the … ift.tt/2UpXLag

@GeoffKabush @UCI_MTB The only brutal thing is working your butt off on a climb to keep position only to pile into everyone at a bottleneck while the leaders walk away.

@HowardGrotts @UCI_MTB Make them wide open, all uphill, and above 10K ft? 🤪 You can do well anywhere though I know. Seriously, I wouldn't want them dead flat either but some of them looked physically brutal this year!

I really hope @UCI_MTB World Cup STXC races move towards flatter, more open challenging and tactical courses and away from brutal hill climbs and bottleneck singletrack. Nove Mesto was a good exciting example to watch where everyone had a chance.

This is going to be (even more) Epic! I'm honored to be lining up in the @songoinfo colors with Jaro for my third Cape Epic. This year we'll have all hands on deck with Sam and Alan as well as Susi and Simon pairing up to tackle this beast of a race. #ri… bit.ly/2D1b8Hz
