Dave Wiens
"Every minute on a bike is a good minute"
Dave Wiens, the “Rockhound” is an exceptional athlete. A professional mountain biker for over 20 years, he has managed teams and is a fixture in the scene. With two US National Championships to his name, and a number of World Cup wins, in 2002 he was welcomed into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.
His talent on the bike is still strong, and his six wins in a row of the legendary Leadville 100 race in Colorado attest to it. Not only that, but both Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis are amongst the riders which he has beaten. “I never did any of this to be seen as a hero or a legend, and find it quite strange. I am just a guy who likes to ride his bike, and likes to give my all when doing it.”
