Chloe is the newest addition to the crankbrothers race club, and we’re excited to have her onboard. Her debut with the race club is the 2011 cyclocross season, and she’s already showing that she can pedal…fast. A mountain biker at heart, Chloe has achieved some great results at her young age of 24. She’s been around bikes all her life, and she’s always been competitive. She has a scar to prove it, too. Her first crash came from an attempted “no hands, no feet” stunt during a contest with her sister when they were both kids. Judging by the scar, her sister apparently won that round, but Chloe’s never lost her competitive edge. She’s using it to her advantage now as she races against the fastest women in the world. Still, we’d like to see her attempt a few more “no hands, no feet” stunts. We’ll just make sure she has elbow pads on first.

My first UCI cyclocross race is behind me, and I even have some point to take home. I finished 7th at Cross Vegas, and about 1.5 minutes behind Katerina Nash. The complete results can now be found here. Cross Vegas was made possible (for me) by the tremendous help of some very special individuals and [...]

Tell us a little bit about your earliest memories riding a bike… chloe: Does riding in a Burley behind my Dad to pre-school count? I remember my sister (Shannon) and me yelling at my Dad, “go faster, go faster” on the uphill stretch. Later, we rode our bikes to middle school, just the two of [...]
