Bio: I started mountain biking for fun in high school and on the root covered trails outside Philly. As a cadet at the Air Force Academy, I joined the cycling team and started out racing XC/short-track, and eventually expanded to DH and duel slalom. Let’s just say I became obsessed with the riding and racing! My senior year was extremely rewarding – I grabbed four podiums at Collegiate Nationals including 3rd in Omnium and raced the Leadville 100. This last season I joined the BX team and have transitioned to Enduro focused racing and absolutely love it! Could not have found a more supportive team and bike shop.

Cynthia I. Carrion

Hometown: Bayamón, Puerto Rico
Riding Class: Sport/Beginner

Bikes: Specialized Stumpjumper, TREK Skye SL


Bio: I started this Mountain Bike obsession in July 2017 when my husband and I purchased some humble bikes and went to Red Rocks Open Space to try them out, and that was it, I was hooked. Mountain biking is my therapy, it helps me stay present and the sport allows me to have a mini vacation from the stress and busyness of daily life. I did my first race last summer, 2018, the Beti Bike Bash, an all-female race, and loved every second of it and now I just want to race more, so what better way than to join the BX team to learn from experienced individuals and to challenge myself to the fullest. I also love snowboarding, surfing, paddle boarding and hiking! Get lost in nature and you will find yourself in every way.

Ryan Jackson

Riding Class: Amateur men division
Bike: 2018 specialized Enduro

Bio: Mountain biking. what can I say other than the sport saved my life! As a child I was always on a bike, riding in the streets with friends and building dirt jumps till the sun went down. Times changed and I grew away from the bike a bit, as we all know life happens and I hit some dark times. My first “real” mountain bike was a diamondback response and from day I knew I fell in love with something special. All my time went to riding and just having a good time. I’ve been racing Enduro with a few dh races the last three years. 2019 will be the first supported season from Bicycle Experience and can’t be more excited! My main goal is just having a good time and inspire others to do the same on two wheels!
