Mick is a husband, father of two boys, a dentist at Alpine Dental Health and races for NCGR. He’s also affectionately known as the Vanilla Gorilla. He listens to his 10 Track selection when he’s driving to trailheads and races with his favorite bike, a 2014 Niner JET. ” My JET is the perfect mix of climbing efficiency and downhill rowdiness.” And where is his favorite trail you ask? Well, it goes a little something like this “My favorite ride is a loop that I do every year in Summit County. It starts in Keystone, goes to Breck, down nearly to Frisco, then back over to Keystone.
