R.C. Gilbert grew up in San Francisco Bay Area in the 70's and 80's. He spent his days taking things apart to see how they worked. Unfortunately, they rarely went back together as a working unit. His love of bikes and going fast coaxed him to the starting line of mountain-bike, road, gravel, and cyclocross races over the last thirty years. For many years, he found a home in teaching science, physical education, and leadership to junior high school students in Northern California. When Gilbert is not writing, he works with school districts as a consultant helping increase the capacity of staff at all levels. He currently resides in Northern California foothills with his wife, kids, and pets.
