"I got started cycling at a very young age. My dad raced on the regional circuit around Colorado and our "family vacations" always involved traveling to a local race. I fell in love with cycling right from the get-go and from before I can remember, I was obsessed with racing. The speed, tactics, metrics, and emotions that went into every race fascinated me and that fascination gave me the fuel to work my way up the ranks. At the age of 15 I begged Jonathan Vaughters to give me a spot on the 5280 development team and — with the exception of a "study abroad" year in 2008 with the French team Vélo Club La Pomme Marseille — I've been with the Ride Argyle squad ever since."

Alex Howes

"I grew up in a suburb of Dallas and now live in Dallas. As a kid I played softball and basketball. In middle school I remember just wanting to make every team. When I began high school I decided to only focus only on basketball, but when basketball season was over my coach convinced me to run track to stay in shape. That’s where my love for endurance sports began. I've now been a pro for over 10 years and ride for EF Education-TIBCO-SVB. My philosophy for training is consistency and dedication."

Lauren Stephens

"Since I was born, cycling was never far off.  Growing up, watching the Tour De France with my dad, going on a holiday in France and cheering for the World Champion Johan Museeuw… I come from a family with 5 children, we all felt the same love for cycling and all became cyclists in youth categories."

Ken Vanmarcke

"As a coach I like to try and make the workouts relatively simple so that riders do not have to look too much at the screen during the ride focusing on other things. I am a believer in positive reinforcement with the people that I work with. - To focus more on what they are doing good than what they have to improve on. This, according to me, results in more confident and motivated riders."

Nicki Sørensen

"During my road racing career, I spent 8 years in the World Tour and had the privilege of completing 12 Grand Tours and multiple World Championships. I had some personal successes, but I spent most of my time helping teammates win races. Now, I’ve shifted my focus to gravel racing and am eager to share my knowledge and experience to continue helping others reach their goals."

Chad Haga

"I'm based in New Zealand and have spent the last 10 years coaching with national track teams specialising in Team Pursuit and bunch racing and road - I have had the privilege of coaching the New Zealand Men's team at world championships and more recently the Canadian Women's Team at the Tokyo Olympics."

Matt Shallcrass

"I grew up doing all of the typical sports in middle school and high school, then I found running. After a mediocre running career (and running related injuries) I decided to try my first triathlon. After being the last out of the pool and wondering "why would anyone want to go for a swim before cycling and running?", I decided I was going to stick with the cycling. 

It morphed from getting dropped on the local group rides to into finding my passion for endurance sports. That passion then turned into helping others with their nutrition and fueling so they can get the most out of their health and performance."

Spencer Miller

"Started my sporting life as a speed skater and found the velodrome in high school. I quickly became fascinated with the speed, technicality and culture of track racing. I only started to ride the road to supplement the track riding. As soon as I found that I could do even more racing, it's all I wanted to do. I became obsessed on how to win, how to get faster and look good while doing it. (I didn't always get that last part right) I won my first Elite Criterium title at 19 and the taste of getting everything right on the important day as stuck with me since. "

Daniel Holloway

"I'm an American based in the south of France and have been lucky enough to work as a full-time coach for nearly ten years. I love coaching because each day I learn something new, and the people I get to interact with motivate and inspire me."

Christian Parrett

"My view of cycling, health and life is very holistic and I enjoy bringing together many view points, ideas and concepts from a wide range of schools of thought."

Nathan Haas

"I grew up in Boulder, CO, home of the Coors Classic stage race of the '80s. From the age of 15 my path was clear the first time I pinned on a number: I was now and forever a bike racer. I went home, shaved my legs, and began to devour everything I could about the sport."

Colby Pearce

"I believe that inspiration is the root of discovery and feel that an inspired person will always discover more about themselves and reach greater levels of growth. 

For that reason, I love to work with people of all abilities, who are inspired to learn and get better every day. I believe that improvements are something that we should feel every single day when all things align."
