Coach Associates

I work closely with several coach associates. These associates follow many of the same coaching practices that I do, and may be more appropriate for your needs.

 


 

Gero McGuffin    

 

Gero been working closely with Arnie for years, helping with his books and coaching.

She helps frequently at ABC coaching camps and seminars.

Gero's particular interests are working with beginning riders who need special attention and working with riders training for one-day endurance-climbing events. 

Gero has been riding recreationally for more than 15 years, averaging more than 10,000 miles each year. She has competed in the Death Valley -- Mt. Whitney race many times and has completed the Markleeville Death Ride.

 


 

Jimena Florit    

 

Jimena is one of the top cross-county mountain bikers in the world. In 2002 she won 4 out of the 5 NORBA Nationals.

Jimena is particularly interested in helping mountain bikers who can ride in San Diego County.

 


 

Julie Kaplan    

 

Julie is one of the top American masters time trialists. She holds several US National Championships and Records.

She is particularly interested in helping juniors.

 


 

Perry Crutchfield

 

Cycle coach Perry Crutchfield has completed over 40 cycling century+ events.

His specialty is ultra endurance climbing events, where he has completed Tour of the California Alps, Triple Bypass and Ride around the Bear just to name a few.

As a coach, he is a student of Dr. Arnie Baker's training techniques and philosophies and has assisted Dr. Baker in high altitude training camps.

Perry has helped hundreds of riders complete their first and subsequent century rides and especially enjoys giving cyclists of all levels the tools and techniques to reach their potential.

He has been a cycling coach since 2000 and has been involved in over a dozen Team in Training programs.


 

Vince Fichera    

 

Vince coaches beginning to pro racers; young adults to masters. His pro riders, some international, have won several National Championships. He has worked with riders from several US professional teams, including Jittery Joes and Health Net.

Vince's affable style has allowed him to build a wide cycling resource network.

 


 

Cody Waite    

 

Cody Waite has been involved in endurance sport competition for over 15 years. Over those years he has raced mountain bikes, road bikes, running, and triathlon at every level from beginning amateur level to professional with such teams as Schwinn Homegrown, SoBe/Headshok, and Prime Alliance.

Cody studied nutrition while attending college in Arizona before moving to Colorado in 1998 and obtaining a USA Cycling Coaching Certification in 2002.

From 1998 to 2003 Cody was coached and educated in endurance sport training by Dr. Arnie Baker of San Diego. The many winters spent training in San Diego with Dr. Baker, considered by many as the premier authority on all aspects of endurance sport training and racing, formed the foundation and principles of Cody’s coaching.

In 2004 Cody formed Endurance Performance Outfitters as resource for training and coaching for Front Range endurance athletes and continued his coaching education by obtaining a USA Triathlon Coaching Certification.

Currently he is attending school working towards an undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine and graduate degree in Physical Therapy. 

Cody is always excited to share his experiences in endurance sport competition and valuable knowledge from his years of hands on study in the field. 

 


 

Edgar    

 

Edgar has recently joined our coach associates program.

Edgar is an enthusiastic Team in Training rider. Team in Training raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Edgar also has a particular interest in fast downhilling and extreme sports--bungee jumping and hang gliding.

Edgar has gauze around his head because he appears to have a case of the mumps.
He is sitting on an El Conquistador--an award given out at El Tour de Tucson for outstanding performance.

In Edgar's case, the performance was not his own--and he is grateful to some of those he has helped for loaning it to him.
