Courtney Cardenas

 

Courtney Cardenas is a top mountain bike racer, both cross country and downhill, a top-5 NORBA Super-D racer, and an amazing Xterra racer. He's also husband to Xterra pro Jamie Whitmore and a good guy. He is well known in the XTERRA community for being a great bike mechanic and quick to help a fellow competitor get their rig set-up. He never asks for money, and it's said he spends more time working on other people's bikes than his own (and that those bikes he fixes usually work better than his too).


He's also become an expert in tire selection and many of the sport's top pros and amateurs will come to him for advice - which is always easy to get. Cardenas talks up XTERRA to anybody and everyone that will listen, is great around kids and newcomers, and is always encouraging others to enjoy the healthy, active, outdoors lifestyle and challenge of XTERRA.


As a racer, Cardenas won his division in the Richmond Xterra numerous times, and was the Southwest Regional Xterra Champion in 2004.


A great racer, coach, mechanic and a fun guy to hang around with, Courtney brings a lot to ICTN!
