Dominating the California Enduro Series
Geyer’s been on a tear this season, making regular appearances on the podium. His year started with a bang at the California Enduro Series opener in Georgetown on May 16th.
He left his rivals scrambling, grabbing a commanding win in the Junior Pro Men’s race. Geyer swept all five stages with a time of 15:15.098, which is just wild. That kind of performance set a tone for the season and really highlighted his skill and endurance.
A Champion in Scholastic Cycling
The day after his enduro win, Geyer jumped right into scholastic racing, showing off his versatility. He lined up at the NorCal Interscholastic Cycling League Championships at Six Sigma Ranch in Lower Lake.
He wrapped up his debut varsity season for San Rafael High by snagging third place at the championships. That result cemented his spot among the best in the scholastic field, echoing his success on the pro enduro side.
Setting the Pace in the NorCal Redwood/RePack Regions
Geyer didn’t just shine at one event—he kept the momentum going all season in the NorCal Redwood/RePack Regions series.
He came out on top as the regular-season varsity boys champion. That didn’t come easy, either. Geyer tackled tough courses all over the region, including some right in Marin County.
Triumphs on Home Turf and Beyond
Championship runs often mean winning at home. Geyer did just that, locking in a key victory at Stafford Lake Park on May 2nd. That win boosted his standings and confidence.
He kept his foot on the gas in every regular-season race, always finishing in the top five. Geyer took fourth at East Garrison, second at the Exchequer Course in La Grange, and first at Stafford Lake Park in Novato. That’s consistency you just don’t see every day.
From Toddler’s Push Bike to Pro Podium
Austin Geyer’s story started early. He got his first bike—a push bike—from his parents when he was just a toddler.
He only started training seriously a couple of years ago, but something clicked when he entered his first enduro races. Watching top riders online, he found inspiration and motivation to push harder. Enduro’s focus on technical downhill riding fit him perfectly. The format, with its timed stages and untimed uphill transfers, matched his strengths and training style.
Expert Coaching and Unwavering Motivation
Coach Mark Ruder says Geyer’s success comes from a mix of motivation and natural athleticism. He points out that while coaching helps, it’s Geyer’s drive and physical gifts that really make the difference.
Geyer admits that racing back-to-back events is tough. The championship race, coming right after the enduro, really tested him. Still, he managed to push through, showing the kind of mental grit you need to win.
Looking Ahead to National Competition
Geyer isn’t slowing down anytime soon. He’s got his eyes set on the North American Enduro Cup.
This big event lands at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, on June 6th and 7th. Geyer’s itching to see how he stacks up against top riders from all over the country.
People back in Tiburon and Belvedere, plus the whole Marin County cycling crowd, can’t help but root for him. There’s a real buzz—maybe even a little pride—about seeing one of their own take on the national stage.
