Richard Cramer of Beaverton, Oregon has over 25 years of varied cycling and running experience to share, having trained for and completed some of North America’s most popular rides and races, including the RAMROD, Death Ride, Hotter 'n Hell Hundred, Sea Otter Classic (both road and mtn), Cyclocross Nationals, Tour of the Gila, 24 Hours of Adrenaline, NORBA Nationals, Creampuff 100, Boston Marathon, Wildflower 1/2 Ironman, and Ironman Canada – just to name a few!

Like many cyclists and runners, Rich’s competitive experience began with track and cross country in high school, and moved on to triathlon. He accompanied his father on a cross country cycling trip at age 18 and completed his first triathlon in 1982. Since then, he’s competed on the road and dirt and has spent time behind the scenes as well, promoting local road races and criteriums while heading a local cycling team in Portland, Oregon.

Rich is one of those coaches with a huge strength in teaching through experience, having raced in and being familiar with nearly every cycling race available in Oregon and Southern Washington. He uses his approach as a trained computer scientist to tackle the challenges of his clients in a methodical way, taking into account each athlete’s individual needs and time availability to balance training and rest.

Since 1994 he has dedicated his training knowledge to longer distances, completing a combination of nine marathons and ultradistance races as well as qualifying for Ironman Hawaii. Rich continues to race today, as a Masters or Cat 2 racer on the road, and in the Elite category off road. Rich has won the Columbia Plateau Stage race in the Masters category, many area mountain bike races, and placed 5th in Cyclocross Nationals in his age group. He has completed several 24 hour mountain bike races on 4-person teams, winning the Gorge Games and placing 2nd in Nationals on a Masters team.

Originally from Corvallis, OR, Rich Cramer lives and works in Beaverton, Oregon with his wife and young son. As a husband, full-time stay-home dad, and part-time “nanny”, Rich understands the importance of life-balance and training on a time budget.
