Stamina Racing Collective | @stamina.racing.collective

Stamina Racing Collective was founded in July of 2020. As a BIPOC-centered team, Stamina works to strengthen and diversify the pipeline of FTW (femme/trans/women) riders in competitive cycling. Only 15% of licensed racers in USA cycling are those in women's fields, even fewer of those identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. Stamina is here to change that. They compete in road, cyclocross, and gravel events across the Midwest, volunteer in our community to enhance ridership, and consult with race directors and brand partners to build a more inclusive industry.

Ted King | @iamtedking

But his fondness for the sport of cycling was too strong and it’s like he never left! Ted is a brand ambassador, gravel cyclist, racer, advocate, and consultant on all things two-wheels.

Laura King | @lauracameronking

Laura grew up in Seattle, Washington where she swam competitively, kickstarting a lifelong love of endurance sports. She attended the University of Washington where she joined the triathlon club in order to fuel her competitive spirit. With a personality that seemed to gravitate toward endurance sports, she competed in all distances of triathlon while pursuing her career in sales and marketing in the outdoor industry.

A move to the birthplace of mountain biking, Marin County, California, shifted her endurance sport passion to all things cycling, especially mountain biking. She was inspired by the cycling community in Marin and later met her husband, professional cyclist Ted King, there.

Through her social media platform and work to expand cycling participation, Laura has used her voice to advocate for the representation of women in the sport of cycling. She has been outspoken about the ability for women to simultaneously have children while continuing to pursue their passions. Throughout her pregnancy, Laura was able to ride over 7,000 miles, which enabled her to maintain what fuels her spirit. She is passionate about highlighting the positives of a life with children and the ability for it to exist in harmony with one’s own endeavors. Laura enjoys traveling with her husband Ted King and two small children to race and ride bikes, foster community and encourage growth of the sport.

lance haidet | @lancy_pants

Lance was born in and currently calls San Luis Obispo, CA home, but spent his teen years growing up in Bend, OR. Through Bend’s amazing community, endless trail systems, and the support of his friends and family, he quickly fell in love with mountain biking and the freedom that it offered.

Eventually, he found out he wasn't so bad at staying upright and could pedal a bike pretty well. Since then, Lance has raced professionally across almost every discipline in cycling, all while getting his Mechanical Engineering Degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. This year, Lance has fully embraced the gravel and endurance MTB scene and has already secured a podium in the BWR Triple Crown. For the remainder of the season, he has his eyes set on the Lifetime Grand Prix, Oregon Trail Gravel, Breck Epic, and as many Cyclocross races as he can fit into his crazy schedule.

When not traveling, racing, or training, you can find Lance out camping, trail running, off-shore kayak fishing, or at home making sourdough and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
