About the operation

Serious enough to show up. Not serious enough to stop having fun.

Team setup

Peak 10 Racing is usually found around Midwest mountain bike events, Horns Hill laps, Snowshoe conversations, Windrock ambitions, and any trail system where someone says, “one more run” with suspicious confidence.

The team philosophy is simple: ride hard, keep it friendly, learn a little, and prepare a detailed post-ride analysis that mostly explains why the bike was making that noise.

Advanced systems for recreational excellence.

Race-day systems check

The lab is less of a building and more of a high-accountability group chat. Still, every run is reviewed with the intensity of a televised world cup replay.

01

Gravity Analytics

We measure speed using eye contact, trail dust, and whether anyone says “that looked fast.”

02

Race Strategy

Pre-ride the line, forget the line, improvise the line, discuss the line for three weeks.

03

Equipment Development

The current fleet includes Transition, Yeti, Rocky Mountain, and Specialized bikes, all tested under rigorous backyard conditions.

04

Recovery Protocol

Hydration, stretching, and immediate claims that next weekend will be even more scientific.

Home base

Horns Hill Park is where the program gets calibrated.

Horns Hill laps

Located about 30 minutes east of Columbus, Horns Hill is the team’s recurring proving ground: relaxed, grassroots, fast enough to keep everybody honest, and friendly enough that new riders can roll in without needing a pit crew.

Blake is the team’s lead rider and resident technical problem-solver. He rides every chance he gets, brings serious pace to the Peak 10 program, and has already earned team-level claims that he is the next Jackson Goldstone. When he is not training, he is usually convincing the team manager that one more race weekend belongs on the calendar.

Marshall is built for race-day disruption: minimal training volume, maximum competitive instinct. He can disappear from the bike for months, show up on race day, and still find a way onto the top step. His bike handling is stronger than his ride schedule suggests, even if ski racing keeps trying to steal him from the program. Peak 10 keeps him on the roster for the results, the depth, and the elite-level competitive banter.

1st place, Pup Cup Eating Competition

Mesa is the official team dog and full-time morale department. Her goals are simple: secure the most food, manage the rock collection, and chase every ball with championship-level commitment. She has a questionable relationship with rocks and an open-minded approach to snacks, but she keeps the whole crew laughing, relaxed, and stoked between race runs.
