Jen Kates - Board Member - Colorado
A dirt-lover and log jumper since 2002, Jen is slowly remembering how to ride on the dirt in the Colorado mountains, which is far from her North Carolina MTB roots.
You're likely to hear her laughing and whooping her way along the trail with a smile on her face the whole time, because nothing makes her as happy as being on her bike.
Why did you become a Monkey? I love that AMR is an incredibly supportive and laid-back team. I don't really classify myself as a "racer," so it's nice to have a team who supports me when I force myself outside of my comfort zone by racing.
What race are you looking forward to this year? TBD! I'm still dialing in my race season, but I always look forward to the Beti Bike Bash in Denver every year.
Favorite hand up in a race? Oreos and blueberry and dark chocolate pancakes. My nickname is "Pocket Pancake" for a reason.
