Learn about our riders and the story of their cycling careers.
I started riding my bike as summer training for speedskating. In the summer there is no option to skate on ice, to prepare your fitness cycling is a sport what is most simulare to speedskating. I enjoyed the freedom riding in the dutch dunes. When I was 15 years old I did race my first competition on the bike.
I started riding at around age 4 in our driveway. Racing came much later thanks to a combination of Lance winning the Tours, the mountain bike movie "ROAM" playing on a bike shop TV, and an injury forcing me out of high school basketball.
Brennan, or as we like to refer to him, 'The Gentle Giant', is a 6'5" and is usually quite easy to spot in the bunch due to his size and beautifully custom painted bikes. Brennan has been racing gravel since 2021, with the 2022 season being his first professional season. Prior to racing gravel, Brennan dabbled in road cycling for a few seasons. But his engine wasn't built on the bike. Before he discovered bike racing, Brennan spent 7 years rowing competitively at an international level. In 2018, Brennan and his teammates on the U.S. National Team won the U23 World Championship in Poland, setting a World Best Time that still stands to this day. For 2023, Brennan will be racing a full calendar of the biggest gravel races and trying his hand at mountain bike racing in the Lifetime Grand Prix.

She sees cycling as empowerment, an opportunity to connect with yourself, the community around you and nature. When not racing, she can be found in exploring a new swim spot, trying out a recipe, reading, or picnicking. She rides for Team 31, a team devoted to getting more kids playing on bikes. She graduated from Stanford in 2020 and lives in her van with her partner and dog.
I remember the first time I really fell in love was racing kermesses in Europe. I had already been committed to racing for a long time, but seeing what racing was like and how it could be a career pushed me to really find my best self.
