MoBikeFed comment: Brad Huff's induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame is very well deserved. Click through to read his entire induction text - a fascinating and inspiring story.In sports, everybody’s got a story, but some are more unbelievable than others.
In 1999 – three years after winning the Missouri Junior Beginner Mountain Bike Championship, and two years after graduating from Fair Grove High School, and one year after purchasing his first road bike from Sunshine Bike Shop – Brad Huff made it to the U.S. National Team. However, it was short-lived.
“I only raced one international race with them, the Tour of Hokkaido in Japan, as I performed very poorly and was not asked to return the following year,” Huff said. “From that point on, I was determined to prove that I had what it took to make it back on the National Team. I even wrote a small message in a cycling cap, ‘Brad Huff National Team Rider’ to give myself a positive affirmation to work towards.”
Did he ever.
Huff eventually worked his way into a successful professional cycling career over the next two decades, with his latest path leading to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and induction with the Class of 2022.
Overall, he was a nine-time U.S. national champion on the road and track and, between 2006 and 2018, he raced for three teams: TIAA-Cref/Slipstream Sports, Jelly Belly Pro Cycling and Rally Pro Cycling.
