Fred "The Brute" Hankinson
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Fred is beast of a rider, a brute! Fred makes Jens Voigt look like a girlie-man. He will ride every local pro off his wheel on the Thursday night ride and claim to not be feeling that strong. Fred dreams of being an Ultmate Fighter, but really is much to kind at heart to compete in the UFC. Fred got into mountain biking in his early 20's to change it up from running and has been hooked since. Fred left out the part about competing in XTERRA Worlds a couple years back, but I'm sure he'll get back to us that one.

Pablo "the Saint" von Boeck
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Like a stone skipping across water he drops in on racing when he finds something that piques his interest, provides a challenge and looks like fun. The past several years the longer grass roots events and single speeds have been the focus, but after hauling Trevor to the races in 2011 he decided to pin on a number a little more often. The races are a social event - travel with the family, hang out and ride bikes with friends, enjoy the outdoors, and neglect the house, and yard. You can find Pablo at Gyre and Gimbal
Category: Singlespeed

What got you into cycling? Bikes have been a focal point in my life for as long as I can remember. My earliest encounter with a bicycle was my sister’s first bike. I was three and drawn like a moth to the flame. Nothing has changed.
Shave or Wax? Keepin' it hairy like a French girl
