Chris Lehto
Age: 40
Disciplines: Mountain Bike XC, road (to train for mountain biking)
Occupation: Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialist

Professional and personal:
Born and raised in Laurium. Left the Copper Country long enough to go to school at NMU and than Central Michigan University. I've been back here since 1991 with my wife Tammi. We have three children. I work at the Houghton Co. Medical Care Facility. I started biking, because running wasn't for me and I needed something to get myself in better physical condition. I have been biking for awhile but, only recently got into more serious riding and racing. Besides biking, I enjoy camping in Copper Harbor with the family, kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing, traveling, including to visit our very lucky eldest son in Colorado who goes to school in Boulder, and I now enjoy running (to train for biking).

Racing goals:
