XC MTB AND MENTOR
KELLY CATALE
Engineering program manager by work day, national team marathon MTB racer by weekend, Kelly Catale’s professional career spans two very different worlds, earning her the nickname of “Bicycle Batwoman.” Aside from chasing her own goals (she raced Marathon Mountain Bike Worlds in 2021, 2022, and 2023), the Massachusetts native has recognized the bicycle as a tool for empowerment–she’s committed to bringing other women into the sport through her non-profit junior development program, KellCat Devo, and youth coaching, while also recognizing the therapeutic benefits of cycling for men and women fighting the good mental health fight.

ENDURO (AND GRAVEL?)
DEVIN DEBRUHL
From our hometown's Super Grom to a seasoned bicycle virtuoso, Devin has transformed into a force to be reckoned with. Continually astonishing us with his velocity through EWS tape, soaring over dirt jumps and road gaps, and executing it all with unmatched style and effortlessness. Throughout the years, we've gladly provided him with couches to crash on during events. Now, with his professional Enduro race program and a full collab of apparel, we take pride in supporting his vision and program with custom gear made right here in the USA, sourced from his own backyard.
ROCK LOBSTER RACING
The Legion of Lobsters that Paul Sadoff has cultivated over the course of 45 years of frame building is quite remarkable. What began as a one-man frame building operation in a shed in the Santa Cruz Mountains has grown into a worldwide cyclocross racing circus, still supplying one frame at a time, by a one-man frame building operation. We’ve been there for the Rock Lobster CX team since the beginning and are going on 15 years of making jerseys for the crew, keeping cyclocross crusty from Santa Cruz to China, to Belgium, and Beyond.
TRI, TRACK, TEAM PURSUIT
ANDERS JOHNSON
A product of Utah brought to our backyard through his studies at CalPoly SLO, Anders is one well-rounded beast of a human. He’s both the US and Pan American Champion for XTERRA off-road triathlon in the 20-24 age group. And as a powerhouse on the pedals, he also took part in Track World Championships representing the USA in team pursuit. But his dream career outside of cycling is sports medicine–a dream that he’s currently realizing as a project manager for a cardiovascular health study at Stanford Medical School.
DSENDIT RACING
From BMX century rides to EWS Enduro Races to Little 500s to burly road gaps, our favorite backyard band of gravity goons just wants you to remember, their shenanigans are not for locals…kooks only. No matter what amount of seriousness, wildness, or combo of both a bicycle adventure demands, the D’SendIt crew will saddle up for all the right reasons and then some.
JEN MALIK
The more ridiculous the conditions, the more fun she has! Jen Malik is a professional CX racer who also loves MTB and gravel riding. She is the 2018 Collegiate Cyclocross National Champion and loves to travel to Belgium every winter for a jam-packed session of cyclocross racing during the Kerstperiode. When she isn't riding or racing, Jen is a Data Scientist at Battelle Memorial Institute while simultaneously running the Ohio NICA League and striving to inspire more women and girls to discover cycling. Let's not forget the chickens! Jen is an animal lover and currently owns 19 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 cats, one tortoise, and a snake.
EMMA GRANT
A lover of races of attrition, Emma has the grit to really go the distance on the burliest courses. After a successful professional road career, the Kiwi-turned-global citizen has taken to the tough stuff, taking wins at the Rio Grande Gravel while also finishing runner-up at the Crusher in the Tushar. She’s about much more than just pedaling hard, though–she’s all about the connections cycling has helped her make around the world.
LUCAS MIERS
Meet Lucas, Reno’s biking sensation and hometown hero. From dominating Nevada's NICA league to representing Team USA in World Cup races, Lucas pedals with a passion matched only by his dedication to medicine as a pre med student at UNR. He coaches NICA, guiding high schoolers to believe in their potential, echoing his journey from local trails to global tracks. A chocolate milk enthusiast with a knack for breaking carbon wheels, he's known as "the beast" on his team. With Lucas, it's not just about the ride—it’s about fueling dreams and showing that anyone can reach the pinnacle, one pedal stroke at a time.
ETHAN FLANNIGAN
Say hello to Ethan, the thrill-seeking dirtbike prodigy turned mountain biking master. From conquering dirt tracks at four to a high school skateboarding stint, Ethan rediscovered his passion for cycling in college. Despite not touching a mountain bike until 22, he fell hard for enduro racing, securing the local WV Enduro Series title and podium-sharing with Neko Mulally. With EWS experience under his belt, Ethan's focus now shifts to local and regional races, fostering community connections through trail maintenance and crafting trails on his property. As the Mid Atlantic Rocky Mountain sales rep, he's not just smashing trails but also slinging deals. Ethan: a trailblazer on bikes and in business, all with a contagious grin.
It's going to be a great year
