Paul is a ripping rider in any discipline. Back in his native Australia, he racked up impressive results as a triathlete and roadie. After moving stateside, this South Lake Tahoe local made the switch to nobby and squishy bikes and continued with his obsession with racing. He raced in the Pro class in the cross country, enduro, and downhill disciplines over the years. Paul is a top-notch mechanic and puts in an impressive amount of time in the saddle.
