BIO:

• By the end of the 2009 season, Patrick had upgraded to a CAT2 and was recognized by the SCVelo Club as the Most Improved Cat3 rider. He is already looking forward to racing along side his SCVelo Cat1-2 teammates.

Patrick’s ultimate goal is to focus on becoming a Superior rider and one day race in the roads of Europe alongside world class riders.

• By the end of the 2008 season, Patrick had upgraded to a CAT3 rider winning several races; participated in USA Nationals and State Championships Races where he took podium in all 3 series. This was Patrick's last year racing as a junior.

• By the end of the 2007 season, Patrick had upgraded to a Cat4 and was recognized by the SCVelo Club as the Most Improved Jr. Rider   . Junior Team Captain Dominic Galenti encouragement was paying off.

• In June 2006, at the age of sixteen Patrick started riding as a hobby and by the end of the season he was racing CAT5 and Jr. Races along side Iggy Silva, now riding for the (U23 LiveStrong Team)  

Patrick’s first group ride ever was the Palos Verdes ride. This ride covers most of the Pacific Palisades beach areas and surrounding hills. This ride changed the way Patrick viewed cycling to the point that he was prompt to write about it in an essay for his English class which he called My first Ride.  "Read it now"  

“Cycling had become his passion”

Cycling has always been a family tradition with Patrick's father a Colombian immigrant loving the sport and a grandfather who followed cycling in his prime years.
