Is there even a downside to edge-finding? Worse Is there even a downside to edge-finding? 

Worse case you blow up and see where the edge is. 

Best case you exceed your expectations and the edge you thought existed; now doesn’t! 

Coaching & performance is more that about physical performance, but also strongly rooted in psychological presence. I always say where the mind is focused the body will follow!

This marks year 4 of @pikespeakapex p/b @rockshox This marks year 4 of @pikespeakapex p/b @rockshox & as serving as Course director.  I took this roll because I wanted to showcase where I live, ride, train &  rip daily.  There are some challenges but those that know me understand I’m a rider & racer through & through.  It’s not all 🦄 & double 🌈🌈 but I come to the table with that in mind & try to help put on a top notch experience with safe & fun courses that I’d want to race. And I don’t stop there! I want to leave the trails & community better than we found it for all users.

There is soooo much that goes on behind the scenes. Few know that trails have been built via the @pikespeakoutdoorrecalliance tallying nearly $35k to date invested back in trails. New connections in Palmer, Sweetwater/Daniel’s & Bruin, and upper Ladders 🤔to come. Yep all part of that fund! 

Not to mention all the advance work we facilitate with @epcparks @cityofcos @gopalmerpark @medwheelcos @cos.mba @cospringspolice HOT(homeless outreach team) to address issues and tackle challenges!

This year has brought heavy damage to trails and I’d like you to see some of the work that’s been put in with some before and after for perspective! It’s not all me but I invested plenty of passion, lots of sweat, even a bit of blood🩸& It’s go time meow😹 

And I gotta 👏👏the true mastermind @micah.rice always making me look better than I deserve. Looking forward to a stellar year 4 & seeing than grimace of part smiles & part suffering on peoples faces!

A bit bittersweet as 🥈 stings knowing so close A bit bittersweet as 🥈 stings knowing so close to that 🇺🇸 yet again but couldn’t be happier with the last minute decision to attend @usacycling marathon #mtbnats 

The course took me back to my roots of SE racing but pushed my limits. I felt great & was 2nd wheel while my HR was pinned 10bpm over my threshold for nearly 2hrs! That high octane O2 may have caused me to roach a few cylinders in my high altitude diesel chasing @bmconbike on his way to a stellar W. But proud of my mindset staying on the gas even when I was cracked & missed my last bottle. Even when I was caught I persevered & matched @mtwinste repeated beastly watt 💣💣 and mustered a 1060w sprint for 2nd after 3hrs of racing. 

The podium was icing on the 🍰 to just spending a great weekend catching up & riding with my sis @tinalee_mtb  She even scored 🥉as well putting a 🍒atop the entire deal. 

Loved ripping on my @iamspecialized #epicevo as it’s really ridiculously capable across the board! Flat out shreds every condition! 

Next time maybe I’ll put some focus on my own training but I enjoy the journey that’s involved in coaching, camps, events & just winging it having fun. 

And walking the walk allows me to better talk the talk adding valuable tools to the coaching toolbox. 

Thanks to everyone that is a part of this and the support of my family & wife @mathenos 

Thanks @chewacla.statepark & @auburnopelika for hosting a great event for a bunch of bike dorks in our zoot suits!

Getting you the timely details for the Stage 3 @pi Getting you the timely details for the Stage 3 @pikespeakapex finish! It’s full gas for the last stretch on the road! To Penrose house!
We get a lot of flack alongside all the kudos but We get a lot of flack alongside all the kudos but bottom line is the bike racing culture & the events make our trails better! 

These trails get used daily but the preceding trail work, the clean up, the future investment in new trails and even YES the racing buffs in a trail system. Don’t believe me go ride any of our @pikespeakapex race course from this race & they’ll be primo 🤌!

Considering the stewardship fund from the race helped build some of the new trails we raced on that proofs in the pudding! Over $40k invested back at this point!

Even the other users I encountered today for the most part were loving a car-free Canon & the buffed lines from the race! 

Support the movement & we’re glad to put this on for the racers,but also for the entire trail user community! 🫡
With @ltraceseries #leadville100 approaching lets With @ltraceseries #leadville100 approaching lets go down a rabbit hole with my @iamspecialized quiver; which bike is best suited?Sorry my 160mm #stumpjumperevo was immediately out! 

I’ve ridden this course quite a lot between my 8:19 & 7:23 finishes along many athlete camps but I’m going to give one of these a test run for a data point to help with my coaching and athletes future success. So which should I roll?!

The answer, “it depends!” Let me explain.

The riders ability, strengths, weaknesses, goals & comforts all matter. It’s like coaching where it’s individualized & not a one recommendation for all.

Some reasons for the hardtail; weight, efficiency (could be debated), simplicity, rider skill exceeds fitness.

Some reasons for full squish; less body attrition, increased descending confidence, traction, fitness exceeds skill.

For me I’m pretty confident in my skill level, descending confidence & my ability to be comfortable for the duration required to get the job done on a hardtail. I know I don’t have the fitness surplus with running a biz & a family with 2 young kids so any weight savings & efficiency that I can gain would be great. These are reasons I’d lean towards the #epichardtail 

On the flip side I know I suffer from spondylitis in my low back so any extra squish helps on long days. Some research shows that full suspension are actually more efficient with traction since the rear shocks compression & rebound help the rear tire stay in contact with the ground which I think would be a plus on all these long ascents especially the steep parts. #epicevo doesn’t compromise much with weight only a few pounds more.

It’s honestly a toss up for me as I think I’d ride them both to an equivalent time but which would you like to see me rip on?

What A Few Of Our Athletes Have To Say

After only 5 months of his guidance I PR'd at Leadville by over 40 minutes. I recommend Matheny Endurance's coaching services to anyone with a passion for cycling and a desire to improve.

Peter Tonn, Badass

I still remember 4 years ago when I got into racing how I kept wishing I'd be up there with the pros someday. Daniel made this happen in only 2 years! His coaching philosophy and his personality make it for an amazing experience.

Joseph Wintergerst, Badass

Through most of the season, I felt stronger and faster than I have in many years. Following a training plan created by my coach, Daniel Matheny, I realized some lofty goals, and even set some new course records.

Sonya Looney, Badass
