Kent McNeill

Kent’s mountain biking roots run deep. First introduced to mountain biking in college, he was instantly hooked. His passion led him to be a founding member for both his collegiate cycling team as well as IMBA Local Member Organization Trails Have Our Respect (T.H.O.R.), while working to build local mountain bike trails close to his home. Ultimately he wrapped up his college career serving as Director for Psycowpath—the Nebraska state mountain bike championship series. After graduating college, Kent turned his passion into a career in bicycle retail, founding Midwest Cycling, starting with one store in La Vista, Nebraska and growing the company to a 6 store, 3 state footprint —a top 15 Trek retailer he sold to Trek Bicycle Corporation in 2017. During this time he co-founded Omaha Devo, a youth mountain bike skills program. Kent has cranked out 11 years of sub-9-hour Leadville 100 finishes. He currently serves the Nebraska Interscholastic Cycling League of NICA as a board member, and the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission as District 1 Commissioner. Kent is based in Nebraska.
