A child of the Great Plains, Josh Patterson relocated to the Rocky Mountains for a different kind of view. He enjoys lonely gravel roads, rocky singletrack, and learning how to be slightly less bad at fly fishing and skiing. His deep knowledge of cycling comes from his time as a racer, professional mechanic, frame builder, and editor.
