ALLEN TURNER - DIRECTOR DE SPORTIF

Coaching is said to be about taking an athlete to a level where they cannot take themselves. Our teacher and mentor in all things cycling, Allen offers his time and experience to the team. Allen has united this group of racers, many who had never met before, from individual riders to a strong and supportive team. The sky is the limit for the ladies of Violet Crown! Thank you Allen!

YEN NGUYEN - CO-TEAM CAPTAIN

Yen is a very inspirational lady and an incredible leader for our team. She trains hard and races smart. She is an outright kind person and I feel proud to call her my teammate!

APRIL MCCLURE

April's dedication is apparent in everything she does, from friendship to parenting to training and racing. Whenever I wake up feeling sluggish, I'm immediately motivated by the workout April has already completed...and I get up at 5:30 a.m.! April is one badass woman who inspires me both on and off the bike.

EMILY TRAHAN

Feisty firecracker Emily got her start racing in the dirt and proved to be just as tenacious on the pavement. When she's not eating hills for breakfast, Emily is an avid yogi, teacher, and mom to a budding young cyclist.
