Sport/discipline: Cyclocross

About Cody: I started racing 7 years ago at the age of 12 and man did I struggle. I was the youngest and the smallest kid out there but I stuck with it, and all of the work is paying off. I am still working on becoming "pro," hopefully that will be sometime shortly. When I am not riding I have a big interest in cinematography.

Hometown: El Dorado Hills, Calif.

Current residence: El Dorado Hills, Calif.

SRAM® products used: SRAM RED shifters, derailluers, cassette and chain.

Zipp® products used: 303 Wheels, Service Course® SL handlebar, stem and seatpost.

Favorite SRAM product and why: SRAM RED shifters – I am all about how things feel and control. My hands are the main point for contact and the shape of the hood feels amazing!!

Favorite Zipp product and why: The 303 wheels are awesome, but I have to say the Service Course SL Handlebars. They feel great and give me the control I want.

Do you train with a SRAM-Quarq® power meter? Yes.

What is one surprising or helpful thing you learned about yourself from training and/or racing with power? Riding with power really helped me train more precisely and there is no cheating yourself when it’s time to do work!!
