Colin has been racing mountain bikes for 4 years with the Alabama Cycling Association (ACA). He’s specialized in XC racing but also enjoys road riding. Not only is he determined on the bike, but off the bike, he’s fixed on becoming a cardiologist studying the human body just as much as he rides the bike. He also takes an interest in exotic cars and gnarly roller coasters!

“I can’t wait to see where this year of PACE takes me!”

Perry is a 15-year-old aspiring cyclist. Growing up, he was not involved much in sports, until he found cycling. He spent a few years riding every once in a while, learning the ropes, until the summer of 2022 when he fully committed to cycling and spent countless hours on the bike. The work paid off his next season of ACA in 2022-2023. He learned his true potential and found PACE. Working with PACE has been able to transform him into a proper cyclist with good results across the board. In 2024 he plans to continue the grind and build strength, character, discipline, and experience.

“I’m super excited for this team to be able to push each other’s limits in racing and training.”
