Rhythm

If you’ve been around the east coast for a while, you definitely know the Mcguire’s. Lance is a former AA-pro who is now the reigning NAG champion in 28-35 Men and his wife, Jill, tears it up on the big bike which is why she has a ROC 1 plate strapped on to her bars. We recently grabbed a word with the new Colorado residents about their journey in the sport.

Pull: Being one of the fastest amateur couples in BMX, How did you guys meet?

Jill: We met through Bill Zimmerman when we were both on Bethany Cycle/ Burger King and Wooden Wheels in the 90’s. We were friends for years and even roommates a couple times before we were dating. We’ll be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in a few weeks.

Lance: We both rode on a team named Bethany Cycle/ Burger King around 1999. We were friends for years but didn’t start dating until our mid 20’s.

Pull: Do you guys train together?

Jill: We do, we ride the tracks and go to the gym together. We both recently started on James Sheely’s training program so the gym has been a lot more routine for me. I look forward to our date nights lifting every week, it’s great having that support and being able to push each other.

Lance: Yes. We are currently training using James Sheely’s program. This has really helped with the push to the Grand’s this year.

Pull: Both of you all are originally from the east coast, correct? How are you enjoying life in Colorado?
