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.

Deneen Hanzlik comes from the great state of Minnesota. After earning a degree from the Minneapolis college bicycle technician program, she found a job working for a local non profit bike shop in St. Paul MN. Since then her passion for bicycles has grown nearly as quickly as her collection of bikes. Working as a full time mechanic and youth apprentice mentor has given her the opportunity to spread her infectious positivity and joy for life to a huge community of like minded cyclists.

Her interest in cycling disciplines has grown from basic commuting to a diverse and ever expanding range of exciting experiences. You'll catch her crushing everything from black diamond MTB trails on the weekend, to miles of crushed limestone after work. Every mile with a smile. She tries to remember every day that life is beautiful in many ways, most of which can be found riding a bike.

A mom of two, Kelsey experiences long-term health effects following her pregnancies, and movement has become a form of medicine for her. She works full time in public relations, and in her free time enjoys sewing costumes, clothes, and quilts, is an avid reader, and loves attending Renaissance Fairs; often with her family in handmade costumes. She’s thrilled to take on her first gravel race with the All Bodies on Bikes team and celebrate riding together!

Khara Malcom is a special education teacher and mom of two from Lincoln, Nebraska, who found cycling just last year. She fell in love with the freedom of exploring new roads, feeling the wind in her hair, and grounding herself in nature. After years of focusing on what she thought her body “should” be, Khara is now embracing the joy of movement and celebrating what her body can do.

When she’s not navigating backroads with friends, Khara can often be found at Orangetheory, kayaking, or cheering from the sidelines at her kids’ sporting events. She’s passionate about the All Bodies on Bikes mission and approaches life on and off the bike simply: ride with joy, welcome others in, and celebrate what our bodies can do today. She’s thrilled to bring that spirit to the Mid South team!
