Matt Colonius
28 years ago, Matt Colonius rode his bike west across the U.S. looking for the best of all possible places to train for cross country ski racing. Now with a northern California warehouse full of coaching, racing, and training gear, Matt continues to bike, run, swim, rollerski, hike, backpack, fish, canoe, garden, and ski as often as he can. He has worked in the outdoor industry ever since that first long tour and for the last 12 years has been the general manager of a specialty bike retailer, Bicycle Planet, in Folsom, California. Matt loves finding the last wild, untrammeled regions while exploring the western US and Canada with his family, and celebrates a day well spent by cooking something phenomenal--usually with Hatch green chilies somewhere on the ingredient list.
