RACE DIRECTOR
JAKE PETERSON
Hello, my name is Jake Peterson, and I’m really excited to join the Avout Racing team! I’ve been involved in cycling for many years, both professionally and personally, and I know how much work and dedication go into racing at every level. I have gained extensive experience racing and training, with a focus on mountain biking, gravel riding, and cyclocross. I have competed at many National-level mountain bike races and was also selected to represent Team USA at the inaugural UCI Gravel World Championships in 2022. My goal is to support you, keep things organized, and create an environment where you can focus on developing as riders and as a team. I look forward to working with you all!
