Kate
Kate (she/her) moved up to Minneapolis seven years ago having hardly spent any time on a bike, but was quickly drawn into the incredible FTW cycling community here! Since then, she’s dabbled in everything from commuting to cyclocross to long distance gravel rides to mountain biking. Nowadays, you’ll find her enjoying a mellow River Bottoms ride (with snacks of course!) or towing her pup along for some city trails and lakes adventures.

Danielle
She’s EXTREMELY pumped to be on Team Recess because she loves playing bikes with friends and cheering them on. She’s also looking forward to the solidarity and camaraderie of cruisin’ with a FTWNB team. Her goal this year is to sneak her other passions into biking - like karaoke and Halloween. She’s often one of those bikers that plays music on a speaker, and has playlists for every biking mood.

Alice
Alice (she, her, they) says that one of her favorite ways to connect with her community is by biking! While she loves to bike around the city, she is particularly drawn to longer, remote rides that are mostly gravel :) Alice and her partner have two little kiddos that will be joining in on their bike camping adventures soon. Having moved from Oregon, they are most excited to meet others who also enjoy biking!

Karlee
Karlee firmly believes that being on a bike makes everything better, for people and the planet. She loves riding around Minneapolis and finding new spots to plop down for a hang with pals or with a book. She's super excited about being part of Team Recess and can't wait to buzz around and build community with other Twin Cities cyclists. If she's lucky, she'll make it out on a bikepacking trip or two this year -- or, at the very least, spend a lot of time cruising along the creek and around the lakes with pit stops for snacks.
