Peter has been active in cycling since his Schwinn Stingray days in the 1970s. He’s been riding and racing since the earliest days of mountain biking, and still competes. \u00a0He also enjoys getting out and exploring on his gravel grinder. Most recently, he’s been tightly involved in the SoCal High School Cycling League as a coach for the Newbury\u00a0Park High School Mountain Bike Team. Newbury Park took third place in the high school State Championships last year, a reflection of Peter and his fellow coaches’ dedication\u00a0and effectiveness.As a high school coach, he’s already given back so much to the sport, and especially to the student-athletes he has trained. Mentoring student-athletes, and helping them build confidence, fitness and bike handling skills are just a part of it. Sharing his love of the sport completes the package.<\/p>\n

He’s seen the sport grow from its roots in the 70s, though its infancy in the early 80s, to an Olympic, College, and High School sport today. \u00a0He’s seen mountain biking become more and more popular and understands all too well the importance of actively working to keep access to our existing trails and to seek out and open up new opportunities. \u00a0As mountain biking grows, so must our access to quality trails and places to ride.<\/p>\n

“Mountain biking and cycling have given so much to me over the years that I thought it was time I give back,” said Sullivan. \u00a0“I’m excited about having a bike park project in my neighborhood too,” he added.<\/p>\n

One of the newest opportunities we have is the\u00a0Sapwi Trails Bike Park<\/a>\u00a0in Thousand Oaks. Peter has been an advocate for this project since its inception. He’ll be serving on a new committee to oversee development of the bike park, and is excited to work on this project. We’ll be holding a meeting about it\u00a0in a few weeks, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

CORBA is fortunate and excited to have Peter’s local knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication working with us to support all mountain bikers in SoCal.<\/p>\n

Again, welcome and thank you Peter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
