Rob, currently residing in Boise, Idaho, brings over two decades of cycling industry experience to the company as well as many years of cycling event management expertise. He is a former competitive cyclist that has raced on four continents and nearly every small town in the United States. He has professionally managed cycling venues such as the Dick Lane Velodrome in Georgia, and was an operations director for competitive and professional events ranging from the Tour of Utah and US PRO to Haute Route. Additionally Rob has managed operations for large cause related cycling events such as Patrick Dempsey Challenge, Velosano and Obliteride among many others which have cumulatively raised over 10 Million dollars each year for cancer research with over 10,000 participants collectively.

Ally comes from a wide range of experience in all things related to health and bicycles. After several years coaching cycling and fitness classes, she earned a Master's of Public Health at Emory University and found her home in the cycling community in Atlanta, where she continued to coach and participate in events from alleycats to the velodrome. In 2015 she joined the ranks at Trek Travel as a guide leading vacation cycling tours around the globe, including tours in Mallorca, Texas Hill Country, and our very own Blue Ridge Parkway to name a few. As an expert of guest experience and tiny details, she helped design, coordinate, and execute dozens of luxury vacation tours over the course of her career as a professional guide. Most recently, she’s been piecing together the entire Great Divide route in solo bikepacking adventures. She now resides in Idledale, CO and works as a Clinical Exercise Specialist at Craig Hospital, with some of the best riding in the front range just outside her door.

If you know Abby then you know she’s one of the hardest working people on the planet. She’s not only a medical professional she ensures that all of our events run smoothly through her unrivaled knowledge of event logistics, participant needs, and inventory distribution and management. From organizing volunteers and medical staff to setting up all aid stations and venue. She’s always one of the first faces you see when participating or attending a Cycling Quests event and there’s a reason why, her energy and attitude is positively infectious. Abby & Ally pretty much are the wheels of the bus.

Robbie is an economic developer with 19 years of experience making deals with big deal companies. He works with businesses of all shapes and sizes, from helping small businesses trying to get by, to negotiating with Fortunate 1000 companies. His efforts have supported the creation of more than 10,500 jobs. While creating jobs and investments had consumed his life, in 2018 Robbie realized that life is best lived focused on God, family, and health. At 295 lbs, he had one choice - start moving and get healthy. Despite growing up loving bikes as a kid, he lost this enthusiasm as an adult. But, in 2019 his health journey led to cycling thanks to a little care and a bike given by a dear friend. Today, Robbie credits cycling with saving his life and mental health. Through saddle time and diet (vegan-ish), he has lost nearly 90 lbs and loves a good race. Though there is much growth to achieve, he is proud that he has competed in several gravel races and completed Ironman 70.3 North Carolina, feats that a few years ago were impossible. Robbie joined Cycling Quests hoping to bridge his skills of working with businesses and government and his passion for health and cycling to make a difference in local communities and grow the gravel community.
