Henrik Klessman

Nickname "The German Diesel" - Moved back to Germany August of 2017

Henrik started biking on the long and lonely country roads of Sweden. After watching his first Tour de France he couldn’t stop biking anymore and got more interested in tactics and history of the sport. He loves Cyclocross races and long distance rides. 

When he’ s not riding, he composes and produces dance music on the computer or goes to Chick fil a. 

Isabelle Poore

Off to college in August of 2017

Isabelle has always loved riding a bike and started on a ten dollar used purple bike purchased in a parking lot. Her interest in biking has grown throughout the years. She started riding at the Dick Lane Velodrome, and then began road racing. In her free time she volunteers at SOPO, a local bike coop,  and is very involved in the local bike community. She is an ABC member and regularly attends Atlanta Streets Alive. The lack of young women in bike racing encourages her to be her best.

Max Schwalbach

Off to college August 2017

Max was bound to become interested in cycling, as he grew up surrounded by bikes and cyclists.  His father has raced at the Dick Lane Velodrome (DLV) and as a young kid, Max was often in the stands cheering him on, as well as volunteering at the events.  Max began riding more and more and started to participate in a few organized rides.  It was after one of these rides that he was encouraged to join the Mission Source Jr. Team.  He now races both on the road and at the track.  Max continues to volunteer at the DLV and is part of the Atlanta cycling community.

Fun Fact: Max watched the pivotal stage 5 of the 2014 Tour de France in the rain wearing a Santa hat.
