Meet our Racers

We had a moment to catch up with Ryan Reminga of Al Dente and the winner of the 4/5 Category at Race #1. 

1. Tell us how you got into cycling/racing and how long you’ve been competitively competing on the road?

Ryan: Bikes first got on my radar back in summer of 2023, I started just riding around campus and Cincinnati. Since then I’ve experienced a whole bunch of different sides of the bike. Including bikepacking, car free living, ultra endurance, and now racing. 

At some point I realized how fun it was to smash up the hills in Cincinnati, so I bought a road bike. I come from a soccer background, so once I started doing TNW rides last summer it filled the competitive spirit from soccer. I was instantly hooked on racing! This spring is my first real season of racing. 

2. You race for Al Dente, how long have you been on the team and does this help with training and team tactics at events?

Ryan: I’ve just recently joined Al Dente this spring. In addition to having the best kits in the game (seriously check them out), everyone on the team has been really supportive and always willing to give advice for any training/races. It’s great to be around people who love bikes and going fast just as much as I do. I’m really thankful for Al Dente as they were stoked to have me on the team even before I had any race experience.

3. What are your big goals for 2025? Any big A races you want to tell us about?

Ryan: My biggest goal right now is to gain the race experience and points in order to qualify for collegiate nationals in Spring 2026. 

Last year KORRS 3 was my first “unofficial race”, and I had a blast! I would say all KORRS, Derby City, and Hyde Park Blast are my A races this year. 

4. Off the bike, what do you enjoy? What are your favorite things to do?

Ryan: I’m in my 4th (of 5) year of studying mechanical engineering at UC, so that takes the bulk of my time. In the fall, I am playing for the UC club soccer team. I enjoy anything outdoors, especially with my friends and girlfriend Addie - camping, lakes, adventuring

5. We love food and beer, what are your favs?

Ryan: My favorite food has gotta be the classics, pizza and chipotle! For beer I’m not too picky, but nothing really hits the spot quite like a post race beer from Turtleback Ridge!
