About Me!

      My name is Brannan Fix and I'm a cyclist, a student and a community member. I attend Rocky Mountain High School and live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my mom, sister and dad. Colorado is part of who I am and the scenery, beauty and mountains are the most beautiful thing in the world. My dad got me into riding bikes and I love riding with him. Now I race and ride with all of my friends on Ciclismo Youth Foundation. Jack, Jack, Zack, Nick, the twins, and many more are all my friends and peers. Shredding trails with them is one of the things that I love to do more than anything.

      Community is very important to me and I could not be where I am without my community. Knowing that people in my community want me to go far, pushes me forward and I try to represent my community the best I can. Racing on Tuesday nights with Steve, Skyler, Tyson and some of the fastest guys in the country has taught me that racing isn't just a sport, its a lifestyle and a family. Whenever I step on the road, I bring a little Fort Collins with me.

      My family and coaches are another huge part of my life and without the support of Ciclismo Youth Foundation and my family, I would never had made it this far. Andy Clark has really nurtured me and taught me the hard way that success doesn't come easy, and that you have to work, suffer, and strive for it, the 300 hours that I have put in this year tell that story. My family comes to all of the major races and I will never forget what they do for me, including driving in an RV for 3 weeks to go to MTB Nationals in Pennsylvania.

      I love bike racing, road, cross, or mountain. But my life revolves around Mountain Biking and Cyclocross. I love riding my mountain bike and the trails around me are top notch and help me work on my technical skills. This summer I finished 5th at MTB National Championship, which I am incredibly proud of. Cyclocross is a huge part of my life and this year look for bike things from me, I feel incredibly prepared thanks to the work of Geoff Proctor and his summer cyclocross camp in Montana!
                                                                                                       

       I would like to thank everyone that I mentioned above, and many more that have helped me along in my ongoing journey. My race schedule for cyclocross is coming together very nicely and I'm excited for this cyclocross season and the big things that are happening for me! This season is going to be awesome racing along side people like Josey and Gavin all across the USA. Look for more blog posts in the future, thank you for reading!
