Mara Abbott (Boulder, USA) 22

A former swimmer and still currently at Whitman university finishing her degree, this vivacious young rider is very new to the world of cycling but has already achieved so much. In her second year as a professional cyclist Mara won the US National Road Title and placed fourth in the Time Trial, took a podium placing in the Montreal World Cup, won Tour of the Gila and represented her country at the World Championships. Known to be a climbing talent, we are looking forward to watching her develop further in the international ranks in the coming years.

I love the outdoors. I love climbing mountains, adventuring. Rhythm. Wind. I love being able to challenge myself and immerse myself in a task. I enjoy single-minded pursuits. I love to meet people with common interests. Moving FAST. Learning, improving, having the opportunity every day to accomplish something great. Excitement. Feeling alive! Being part of something larger than myself through teamwork. Space from everything. Singing out loud when I ride alone.
