Felipe Cárdenas grew up around bikes. His father and older brother were elite cyclists! So cycling has been part of his life! When not cycling, Felipe enjoys working around the house and running.

When not racing, Felipe enjoys spending time with his wife, Sandra, and eating at his favorite Mexican, Indian, and Japanese / Sushi restaurants. His hero is his mother; she taught him to always be noble and always laugh because life is too short.

Lastly, Felipe feels that he can bring the skills, abilities, and cycling knowledge in a specific area that he would like to share with our CCA U21 riders with his 30 years of cycling experience. He believes he can connect well with others and communicate during rides/races with our athletes.

•​2022 Whisky City Crit/ IN State Championship - 1st place
