What started off as a way to get from point A to point B, quickly became a passion. From grinding up the hills of SF to rolling around with fenders in PDX, Carol is always seeking out a good time on two wheels. Until her two wheels collided with a set of four wheels and the injury took her out for several years. But she is back on the saddle and ready to give it her all again on with the ABOB team at Mid South Gravel.

A firm believer in community, she hopes to give back as much as she has received on her long road to recovery and feeling confident on the saddle.

Corey is a high school culinary arts teacher, husband, and proud dad of two boys, one dog, and one snake. Passionate about road and gravel cycling, and a newcomer to mountain biking.

He began cycling about 11 years ago after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Joining organized rides became a way to raise awareness and support for diabetes causes. A few years later, he bought my first gravel bike and started exploring local trails, including the C&O Canal Towpath and the Great Allegheny Passage.

In January 2022, an injury temporarily sidelined his cycling. During that downtime, Corey discovered All Bodies on Bikes and connected with a broader cycling community. Their inspiration reignited his passion, and he began planning new events and adventures. Two standout moments since then have been completing RAGBRAI 2023 and Unbound 2024.

Hey everyone! I'm Lincoln, and at 38, my life is a blend of pedaling adventures, new experiences, and exploring the world around us! I've been on two wheels since I was four, and that lifelong passion now fuels my work as the Operations Manager at Second Cycle community bike shop here in Tacoma, Washington.

Most days you'll find me building bikes for our community or teaching middle and high schoolers all about active transportation and sharing the joy of biking with the next generation. I love to travel, discover new places, and I’m always ready for the next ride!

Nicole turned 30 in 2025 and suddenly found herself fully immersed in the world of cycling! From road riding and entering her first-ever mountain bike race to getting her first gravel bike, she’s diving headfirst into every kind of two-wheeled adventure.

She’s ready to take this gravel journey by storm, fueled by the connections she’s made with riders of all ages and backgrounds.

Sandra is a social worker and human-powered travel enthusiast: whether its by foot, kayak or bicycle. Funny enough, she grew up hating exercise—so she’s still a little surprised that backpacking and cycling have become some of her favorite things to do!

She volunteers with Radical Adventure Riders (RAR) in Philadelphia, helping to build a welcoming and inclusive space in the cycling world for trans folks, non-binary people, and women. Sandra loves laid-back, party-paced rides, birdwatching, and just spending time in nature.

Irie started riding mountain bikes in 2017, but found her groove when she got her first gravel bike in late 2019. As a fat cyclist, All Bodies on Bikes helped Irie feel like there was a place for her in the cycling community, but that took on even greater meaning when she developed a systemic autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, shortly after she attended her first women’s gravel clinic in 2021.

After 10 months with very limited mobility, Irie found an adaptive e-gravel bike, and rode her first gravel race, Rooted VT, making it to 40 miles after only a few months back to walking and cycling.

Living with a fluctuating disability means that riding and training is always unpredictable, but the bike has been a source of joy, constancy, and grounding for Irie as it can always meet her where her body is at on any given day.

With the support of the inclusive and adaptive cycling communities, Irie has pushed forward into new cycling challenges, like doing her first metric century on road for Bike MS in 2024 and diving into adaptive mountain biking (broken bones included!). Irie is incredibly excited to take on Oklahoma gravel with an amazing team for what will be her longest gravel race yet!

Sebastian started riding bikes more seriously/enthusiastically when he moved to beautiful Western Massachusetts. As a trans man, he has been intentional about healing his relationship with his body, and joyful movement has been a critical component of that endeavor. He also believes bikes are a beautiful community-building tool - by literally connecting/transporting people to each other AND through social riding.

Sebastian organizes a trans and queer centered weekly morning group ride to queer-owned and queer-friendly coffee shops (modeled after the bay area coffee rides). He also works as a psychologist, is married to a lovely human, and is the biggest fan of his two cats, Jackson and Carl.
