Vic’s Espresso/Peerless 2009 Rider Photo and Profile

















Joe Paulson 

DOB: November 16,1960
Years Racing: 30
Hometown: Boulder, CO
Occupation: Transportation Engineer
Nickname: none I want to encourage

Joe is another local rider inspired by watching the local Red Zinger Bicycle Classic back in the day. Joe has gone on to win a pair of Colorado State Criterium Championships, 8th at 2008 National Criterium Championships, and 2007 Colorado Best All-Around Rider. No doubt Joe’s life would have been different if he had never become a bike racer. He said he would be “a lot richer and a lot fatter.” Today he enjoys riding his Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL2 up Flagstaff Mountain and uses Tour de France videos for the eyes and U2 for the ears to train when the weather keeps him in indoors.

Joe claims that Barack Obama is his superhero. He said, “Hey, he's MY super hero!” Joe has his Vic’s Espresso order down; when he walks in he is quick to order a double skinny mocha, no whip, in a big glass for here please. Joe also makes time for mixing cocktails, collecting toy trains, and singing in the church choir (“Hey, maybe Choir Boy should be my nickname.”) Joe also mentioned that he is willing to test his Lactate Threshold at BCSM but says he is “afraid to try the VO2 Max.”
