Bio: Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski began mountain bike racing as a 14 year old junior in 1992 and hasn’t looked back since. What began as a school trip in Colorado in 8th grade has turned into an international passion and lifestyle. Over the course of 17 full seasons of racing JHK has raced in over 30 countries, won 14 National Championships, stood on multiple World Cup and international podiums, and become an American Olympian. 2009 and 2010 saw JHK earn his 5th National Cross Country Championship, back-to-back Marathon National Championships as well as his 100th National Series podium appearance. He ended 2010 with 123 U.S. National Podiums and won the inaugural ProXC Tour along the way in 2009. In 2010 he made his debut at the 100-mile distance winning the Bailey Hundo and breaking Lance Armstrong’s record time en route to second place at the Leadville 100.

Off-the-bike Jeremy attended the University of Colorado where he graduated with high honors and a degree in Applied Mathematics. He won the College of Engineering’s Undergraduate Research award, which he didn’t receive at graduation since he was at a bike race in Europe. He is currently the vice-president of the NORBA board of trustees as well as the athlete representative on the USAC board of directors. He writes a column for the national cycling magazine VeloNews about his travels and racing. In his brief time off-the-bike each year he channels his creative energy and passion for architecture into a new project: www.Studio-Shed.com. He is an avid backcountry skier, and ventures off into Colorado’s high mountains when the snow is too deep to ride in. Jeremy has acquired a love of good food and wine in his world travels, and cooking continues to be a favorite recreational pastime. He has a definite passion for anything two-wheeled and in addition to about a dozen bikes owns three motorcycles: a Ducati Hypermotard, a Ducati Elefant, and a GSX-R750 race bike. He wishes he could ride these more, but gets out just enough to justify all three of them taking up space at his house in downtown Boulder, CO.

2011 will mark JHK’s 19th full season of racing. He will contest races around with world and spend over 200 days on the road with the phenomenal support of Subaru and TREK bicycles. Already America’s most successful domestic racer of the modern era, in 2011 JHK will look to continue to cement his place among the all-time stars of American Mountain Bike racing.
