Michael is an ex pro cyclist and huge advocate for junior cycling in BC. He supports local cycling and development in his everyday life. He love cycling and loves the track.

A transplant from Montreal, Vince has been racing bicycles since the age of 12. Through his early adult years, he raced Downhill at a National and World Cup Level but in more recent times he’s been racing on the road once again and discovered the track a decade ago. As a master’s racer, he has found success in winning national titles both on the road and track. When not on his bike he is still near them working in the sports industry for more than 30 years. He hopes his experience as a racer and knowledge of the cycling industry can help continue the legacy of our beloved velodrome and track community while looking ahead and planning to secure our success for the future.

Elise comes from a road racing/gravel cycling background and fell in love with the track during a women’s open invite in 2022. She looks forward to continued work with the board to improve the track not only for women, but for all BVC members.

Steve is a lifelong cyclist who didn’t try track cycling until 2019. This was his introduction to local racing which has since grown into a passion for grassroots cycling that provides opportunities for cyclists of all ages and skills. When not on a bike, Steve works as a Professional Engineer and Project Manager for major capital projects.

Spencer loves the track, rocks, Star Wars and his cats. He’s been racing at the Burnaby Velodrome for 16 years and dreams of competing at nationals as a Master in 2028. He is a big advocate for “riding is for everyone” and hopes to bring more featured race events and more beginner/intermediate rides to the BVC.

John has been riding the track for about 10 years having done learn to ride with Kelyn Akuna. Kelyn instilled in me the value of the track cycling community, the need for club capacity, and the joy of competitive track cycling. Despite being old, riding a bike is fun. During the day, John rides a desk in an office.

Adam has been a member and racer at the Burnaby Velodrome since 2012 when he started as a junior. Through his years of experience in both edurance and sprinting he has a unique perspective on velodrome matters as well as a wealth of technical knowledge on training and racing. He took a brief hiatus from the velodrome after his competitive retirement and has now returned and ready to give back to the velodrome that he considers his second home.
