Hi Folks!

I’m Jane Vigneau and I am interested in joining the NEBRA board so that I can support the New England bike racing scene. I love bikes and I love riding and racing bikes! I grew up bike commuting with my dad through the not-so-bike-friendly streets of Worcester, MA, then lived in Winter Park, CO for five years where I learned to mountain bike, and currently live in Williston, VT where I dedicate most of my free time to training and competing in as many bike races as possible. Half the battle is just showing up! In 2023, I joined the Signature Cycle Women’s Racing Team based out of CT and have had a blast getting to train and race with a team. I primarily race road, but also love cyclocross, gravel, and mountain biking. As we all have seen, there is an opportunity (especially in road racing) for more participation (especially women and gender diverse) as numbers have declined in recent years. So I’m interested in being a part of a group whose mission is to do just that: get more people racing bikes! What I bring to the table:
1) Professionally I have been working in people operations for 10 years, currently as an HR Business Partner at City Market Onion River Co-op in Burlington, VT.
2) I have immersed myself in the New England bike racing scene (primarily road) and have progressed from a Cat 5 to a Cat 2 over the past few years.
3) I am a mom to an 18-month old and know that it’s possible to have a family AND race bikes.
4) I’m curious to learn more, work alongside other passionate bike folks, and forge a path forward for the future of bike racing.

Thank you for your consideration,
Jane Vigneau
