Experience

Paul Clauss has been riding his mountain bike for the past 25 years and still
hasn’t gotten bored. Currently located in Vermont, Paul spends most of his
days seeking out rustic VT descents carpeted in wet roots with his faithful trail
dog, Peggy. While he won’t claim to be the fastest rider around, there is
nothing he enjoys more than super technical terrain and line choice – and he’s
finally learning to enjoy going uphill as well! When he is not on the trails, you
can find Paul trying to become a YouTube expert on home remodeling, at the
dog park, on a split board tour, or learning to cook.
