"Starting my cycling journey as a rookie, I found in Outspoken a community where everyone can truly fit in. Through the years, I've helped the club to establish its core operations, ensuring our home keeps growing from its foundation. In 2025, I'm focused on expanding training options for new riders, and building a bench of training leaders that can keep all our rides safe & inclusive."
"I'm proud of my leadership in the club thus far, and excited at the opportunity to join a Board of dedicated, talented OCCers that care about making the club more exciting and engaging. I have a vision to make the club more inclusive and bring our rides to more people in the queer community, and still ensure it keeps true to its small-time roots."
"Being part of Outspoken for the past years has been a truly amazing experience. Through the club I've fostered and grown many wonderful friendships. I would work to ensure that the club continues to provide new and meaningful ways for members to meet and connect with each other by fostering more and more varied rides and social events."
"As one of the founders of Outspoken Cycle Club I have a unique perspective on the past / present / future of OCC. My desire and passion moving forward with OCC is to curate a space for cyclists who prefer shorter rides, casual paced rides with social component. In 2025, my focus will be to continue to mentor our Sort-Ride Series."
“As someone who is recently back into cycling after a 15 year hiatus, I rediscovered my love for this sport through OCC. I know that getting into or back into cycling presents a number of questions and challenges. And I want to help new riders get comfortable with being on the bike. I'm excited for the year ahead.”
"My focus will be geared towards initiatives that help expand the awareness of Outspoken in areas inside and outside of the queer community. I would help build interest in unique longer endurance experiences around the PNW and abroad."
"The OCC community is one of my favorite communities for the mix of social, exploring, and fitness opportunities it provides. Over the last few years I have both participated in and led many OCC events both near and far. I am excited to continue my journey and I see opportunities to establish more regular local rides as well as running more riding opportunities regionally and internationally. It also includes continuing to build our community here together."
