About Us
As owners of Finish Line Cycling, we share a lifelong passion of cycling and are proud owners of a family owned business. We avidly follow professional cycling news and watch racing coverage in person, online and on television.
Both mountain bikes and road bikes are part of our routine. Racing results include small town races in Wisconsin, and larger, well-known circuits in Ohio, Montana, and Colorado, as well as throughout Germany. For several years we have participated in many organized rides including Triple-By Pass, Elephant Rock, Buffalo Classic, and the Ronde van Vlaanderen Cyclosportive. Our weekly rides in Colorado include descending through hilly valleys, meandering along streams, climbing steep roads, and enjoying the wildflowers grow. Cycling is in our blood!
Meet the Guides
John:
As manager of Finish Line Cycling, John is responsible for service to each customer and leading tours. He has been riding for over thirty years and is geared up to lead another tour. His first bike was a Huffy, which he soon customized by removing all of the stickers, and painting it solid black. After learning how to ride his personalized creation up the steep hills to his house, he realized he loved this new freedom, and began riding more frequently. Since then he has been racing all over the United States and even a little in Europe. His passion shows through as he tells tales about the latest race he participated in, recent tour coverage on TV, or yesterday's club ride.
Knowing the effort it takes to win as a professional is inspiring and enjoyable to him, and helps him keep focused on his own training goals. When he's not at the Spring Classics in Belgium, he can be found riding with his local club or leading training camps in the spring. John’s warm and friendly smile will help you go the extra mile on the bike and you will realize his enthusiasm is contagious.
Lynnda:
Owner of Finish Line Cycling, Lynnda is the hub of the business. She is responsible for the administrative functions of the company and makes sure all trips are organized and running smoothly. There isn't a detail she hasn't thought about! Even though she has been riding for twenty years, she still has fond memories of her first bike which was powder-puff blue with five speeds. Lynnda rides to relax from the daily grind, and joins the weekly club rides around town to keep up with her climbing skills. Rding through the local, rocky canyons is a favorite for her. She has switched gears from racing, and is now managing tours, creating customized itineraries for private groups, and is responsible for all marketing functions of the company.
JT:
Another one of our tour guides is John T, who believes in riding so he can eat pop-tarts, and drink one of 800 Belgian beers. He's not selective when it comes to recovering after a long ride, as he will drink anything from an Abbey Ale, to a Stout, Lambic, Trappist, or even a Flemish Red. You never know what he has in his water bottle! John is an epic rider who loves experiencing the world on bike, and one of his many accomplishments include mountain biking through the Indian Himalayas.
