Joe Petersen - Cycling | United States

Joe Petersen took up cycling seriously at age 28 and wasted no time in establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with, earning four California State Time Trialing titles, along with an array of other national honors. In 1996, Joe and his three teammates not only won the brutal 3,000-mile "Race Across America," but established a new transcontinental record in the process. Joe gave further proof of his toughness in the 2000 race, when he crashed and then rode the last 2,400 miles with three cracked ribs and a separated shoulder! Joe is pleased that his achievements have inspired other individuals and teams to compete, and that his message of health and wellness is educating others about the benefits of optimal health.
