Bend's Ryan Trebon is not only one of the fastest cyclocross racers in the world, he's a darn nice guy. The 6-foot-5-inch 31-year-old finished last year ranked 15th on the world 'cross standings and his tireless work ethic, large smile, and ability to generate otherworldly power on the bike has earned him the respect of both his fellow racers and his fans. But in his final years with longtime sponsor, Kona, Trebon says racing and training had become stale. And he will be the first to admit that his flagging enthusiasm showed in both his attitude and his results. His regular frustration on the race course earned him the nickname, Tre-Boo-Hoo. Needing a change, the lanky bike racer and his longtime mechanic, Dusty Labarr, struck out on their own seeking new sponsorship and improved results.
