Our riders come from a diverse background and their interests cover the full spectrum of cycling. From endurance to time trials, track to mountain, we have members that will ride and race it. We compete all over the Midwest Conference (MWCCC) and occasionally outside it!

Austin Motz (President), Undergraduate, Road and Gravel

Shayne Plourde (Vice President), 6th year PhD, All-Rounder

Not able to focus on anything besides his thesis, Shayne mostly commutes to campus on his Trek FX3 or rides his Cannondale around once or twice a week to keep active and sane. Hopefully a more relaxed summer will allow him to get back to riding 4 times per week with an occasional gravel ride on the weekends.

Gabe Hartnett (Treasurer), Undergraduate, Road

Nick Sekas (Co-President, Treasurer), Senior, All-Rounder

Since getting his first road bike at fifteen, cycling has always been Nick’s primary form of exercise.

He spent several years riding around the Akron area, and only began racing after joining the cycling club at Ohio State.

With two collegiate seasons come and gone, he has focused his efforts on effective training and aims to enter the Category C Men’s field this season with competitive fitness.

Liam Smith (Social Media Director), Senior, Sprinter

After his bike got stolen as a freshman, Liam bought his first road bike and quickly developed a passion for the sport. Already an NCAA athlete in fencing, he uses cycling as a method of cross-training.

Within a year, he got the itch for competition and dove headfirst into road-racing. He focuses on criteriums and specializes in sprinting.

Look for him on the roads and trails west of campus, where he spends most of his time training

Eric Gonzalez-Montilla (Model), Senior, Climber

In an attempt to keep active his freshman year of college, Eric started riding and quickly fell in love with the ability to explore and experience Ohio with the freedom that a bike creates.

With an extensive history of competition, it was only a matter of time before he started racing. He focuses on road races and specializes in climbing.
