Life in Cali

HBU23 Teammates (L-R): Jordan, Adrian, Zeke, Eamon, and Owen.
Just after Christmas, Jordan moved to Pacific Grove, California, to live with Hagens Berman U23 teammate, Eamon Lucas. He is just a short drive from 3 more teammates in Northern California. He attended the first HBU23 team camp in Seattle in early January, which was a great success.

Jordan is now coached by Colby Pearce, and has stepped up his training program, with a weight program, and additional core specific workouts.

He finished up High School a couple weeks ago, and will graduate near the top of his class. Congrats to Jordan! As previously announced, he will attend the University of Minnesota, starting this fall.

The Cherry Pie Criterium, in Napa, CA, was his first race of the 2014 season. HBU23 lined up 5 strong with Eamon Lucas, Owen Gillott, Adrien Costa, Zeke Mostov, and Jordan. The team rode aggressively, and finished 2nd and 3rd with Costa and Lucas, respectively.  Race Report by Owen Gillott. Picture below is complements of Christine Costa.
