Mio Suzuki - Wisconsin
Mio is a new racer to the world to Cyclocross. She competed in her first CX races in 2013 racing for Angry Monkeys. She loved it, so she decided to return to hone some of those dirt skills. "I've been wanting to do cross for the longest time! I have the bike and the essentials, so all I need is a team environment where I can push myself forward and learn from the experienced riders." - Mio.
We are excited to have her again this year and hope to get her in a mountain bike race or two.

Jeff Krawczyk- Colorado
I moved to CO from CT a little over a year ago and I love the mountains! I have been mountain biking just over 20yrs and road biking for about 10. Last year I raced the Leadville Qualifier Fire Road in Utah which was 100K with 7,000+ft elevation gain...Brutal! My goal this year is to race the Leadville Trail 100! My other hobbies include snowboarding, fat biking, standup paddleboarding, fly fishing, and needlepoint (haha jk on the last one :)). Looking forward to meeting other AMR's! Cheers!

A Norwegian who is doing XC skiing as main sport, but in addition racing in CX and MTB. Arild recently finished an incredible 1st in his age group at the race for the Birkie in Wisconsin! He had a successful CX season the other year - which was his first year racing CX - and won a few races. Now back in Norway, Arild will continue his training and hopefully will be back in the USA for a few quick races in the summer with AMR.

Dana VanVoorhees - Colorado
Hi, I'm Dana, DanaBanana! And technical mountain biking is my game. I love racing cross country MTB and Cyclocross. Currently I am recovering from breaking my upper humerus bone during a cyclocross race back on December 13th. I am lucky there was no displacement of the bone and I didn't need surgery. I was released by my ortho doctor yesterday to ride a road bike. I can get back on my mountain bike in a couple months. I am hoping I will be ready for my local race - the Grand Junction Off Road in May, but certainly won't push it if I'm not ready. I am really looking forward to volunteering at the Grand Junction Off Road Race, something I do each year and enjoy it just as much as competing. I'm looking forward to being a part of this healthy tribe called the Angry Monkeys.

What race are you looking forward to this year? I’m looking forward to the Midwest regional in Sun Prairie at the end of the year. A big race in my town!
What are your goals for the year? Being my first year in Cat 4, I want to stay near the top 10 but podium once or twice. Maybe even win a race.
Why do you ride? I ride for multiple reasons. I ride to stay healthy, I ride to keep myself competitive and then I ride for enjoyment, relaxation and to cut down on my carbon footprint.
Which song would you pick for your ride anthem? White Panda Bombooyah, it’s an hour, music mashup so it keeps your tempo up.

Joe King - Wisconsin
Joe started racing in his late 40's, participating (by mostly getting dropped) in crits, road races, and time trials. Being in over his head most of the time, he concentrated on smiling. In 2007, Joe tried cyclocross and discovered that amazing mix of dirt, pain, and smiles. Joe has not won often but does have victories in sprint triathlons, time trials, and cyclocross. He tried mountain bike racing in 2014, placing 2nd and 3rd in the two outings attempted. Joe is the 2013 Wisconsin State time trial champion in the old guy category (55-59). He is hoping to get out and race the mountain bike more next year with plans to attempt the Leadville 100 in 2016. We'll see how that goes - there's nothing like being in over your head with a smile.

Michael Coleman - Georgia
An angry irish/scott mix who loves to tear up the singletrack and jump into some CX the next day. Have been racing only since 2011, from CX as Cat4 still to Endurance races on the MTB, and throw in some alleycat races for fun. These days rides his dependable Focus Mares CX for all around riding and his gnarly Salsa el mariachi ss for the singletrack. This year he plans on helping out with any cool (post beer ride) charity rides, get in top ten for CX and podium some more in the MTB scene. Watch out for this monkey at 24hours of Ga, 12 hours in Conyers, 9hr @ Fort Yargo, and what ever I can find. This WILL be the angry monkey to watch as he gets more experience and better form. Cheers!!!

Murphy Davis*- Georgia
I love all flavors of cycling, but hammering out some xc riding is my real passion. The tougher the ride, the more fun I'm having. I'm currently on a Vassago Chupacabra set up singlespeed, but I'd love to "upgrade" to gears and build up a boutique racy singlespeed. I turn every ride into a race, even if only against myself, so any chance to compete calls my name. I can geek out on training science and components, but deep down, all I want is more time on two wheels. This guy is a beast on the Single Speed. USA Cycling Results
Arturo Quintanilla- XC Director - Georgia
Arturo Quintanilla "la machine" has been very passionate for bicycles since he could ever remember. Working part time in a local bike shop is the way that he has been able to afford all of his bike toys. He started racing cross country in Mexico at the age of 13 but stopped because he was given a guitar for Christmas. The mariachi in him fell in love with music!!! 10 years later, something inside of him clicks! He decides to do what his true passion is. Riding, racing, enjoying bikes AND playing music while having a good time with friends puts a big smile on his face :-) To this day, he is fortunate and blessed to make a living out doing what he loves.

Married with 3 awesome kids. I ride whenever time allows and with 3 kids its not as much as I would like. I have only raced one time and it was pretty fun but my weekends are typically full of Karate and soccer for my kids. I ride my road bike a 1500-2500 miles a year and during the fall I switch over to my 29er MTB and ride that till spring or till I wreck and break my ribs...seems to happens yearly.

Clifton just got started with mountain biking last September and has been addicted since.

Sharon Martin Andersson
Sharon likes to ride anything that she can get wrecked on. Training for equestrian sports she happened upon mountain bikes which got her all hot to ride. After many years of less than stellar riding, she decided to give cross a try. While she still prefers the sidelines to actual red lining for 30 minutes she has embraced the pain and started carrying around her perfectly ridable bike. If pressed she will tell you that she loves all her bikes equally but her mountain bike has a special place in her heart.
