The 2022 Crew

Evan Malinchock

This is my fourth time leading a long-distance bike trip. I am a graduating student at Appalachian State University studying Sustainable Technology. My favorite gas station foods are sugar-free Red Bull and Charleston Chews. I’m most looking forward to making it an even 3 successful bike trips lead across the United States and Canada.

Agustin Fiorito

I am currently a junior at Virginia Tech studying Chemical Engineering. I enjoy long distance running and biking, but this will be my first multi-day bike trip! My favorite gas station bike snacks are chips and Little Debbie’s. I’m really looking forward to making connections along the way.

Adam Lenox

I graduated in Spring of 2021 from the University of Virginia and currently work as a mechanical engineer in California. My favorite gas station snacks are cookies and cream flavored protein bars, but I’m excited to explore all that gas stations have to offer. Over the past few years I have developed a passion for running and biking and can’t wait to take on a new challenge for such a great cause with Bike Loud!

Maya Sweeney

I’m currently a junior at Appalachian State studying exercise science with hopes to pursue a graduate degree in physical therapy. My favorite gas station snacks are coffee, cliff bars, and jalapeño chips. I have a background of running and cycling, but have never done any bike packing. Super excited for this experience and to ride for bike loud!
