Neon Racing

Women's cycling team in Knoxville, Tennessee

Presented by Providence Advisors Group

06/18/2026

Back in action. 💪

Last week Kimberly raced Race 1 of the Laramie Mountain Bike Series.

She tackled 12 miles and 1,200 feet of climbing during some of the wildest conditions she can remember, with winds over 30 mph and gusts topping 50 mph! This meant pedaling hard everywhere—even on the descents after the 45-minute climb to start the course!

She finished 4th out of 6 in the Advanced Women’s field, but the result wasn’t what made this race special.

She says: “After breaking my hand in January, this was my first mountain bike race back. Spending much of the winter in a cast made me appreciate simply being out on the trail again. The biggest challenge wasn’t the climb or the wind—it was learning to be kind to my out-of-shape self and remembering how fortunate I am to be riding again.” 🙌

Shoutout to Aaron Ross at Link Cycling for the bike fit, which has helped her back and hip enormously.

While the Appalachian Journey did not have the lead-up Shaunah and Missy planned, they still showed up and finished–stronger than expected. The two of them were hit with sickness and even debated a bailout the night before. 😅

The goal for the day became–just keep moving and hoping to stop only once at mile 46, steady pace, and take on every punchy climb (yes, even those 20%+ grinders) one at a time. Fueling and hype were dialed—no bonks, just grit, laughs, and a lot of high fives.

The duo format made it all the more special. Showing up for each other, staying present, and pushing through the highs and lows together was everything. The two thought they were last all day in a stacked field… so finishing 6 midpack felt like a huge win!

Grateful for this journey, this community, and getting to share it side by side. Emily and Gordon have a great race dialed in. Shuanah is excited to give their other event, The Mountaineer, a go in November.

⚡️Introducing Lisa Mueller!!! ⚡️

Lisa is the newest Neon to our team but a familiar face in the local cycling scene! What has this woman NOT DONE?!

We are honored she is racing with us this year! You’ll be catching her out on the trails riding her 2023 Trek Fuel EX 9.8 - “Sisu,” a 2020 Trek Rail 9.8 “Artemis,” or her 2019 Trek Boone 7 “Zippy.”

Lisa has been seriously riding MTB since 2014 and her first race was 12 Hours of the Hill of Truth in 2015 on a women’s team. She raced on a borrowed bike and Neon Missy was on the competing team! That borrowed bike led to her first real full suspension bike, Prince, in 2016.

When Lisa’s not riding you’ll find her out on the trails with her 4 dogs, aka the Mueller Menagerie, gardening, working on her personal training certification, or finishing her degree in Organizational Management.

Look for Lisa showing up and speeding by!

The Waucheesi ‘26
Tellico Plains, TN
3/29/2026

Rachel and Stephanie rolled out at an energetic pace, soaking in the views on a stunning course that delivered fast, fun gravel.

Tackling the route in under 3 hours, the choice to go with the “38 Special” did not disappoint. New stretches through Cane Creek and Rafter roads made it feel fresh, scenic, and totally worth it.

The highlight of the day they said? Sharing a podium with friends & teammates. 🙌

If you’re gravel-curious or just want a race that balances challenge with pure ride joy—put this one on your list for next year.

Thanks as always Rapid Expeditions & darkhorse race productions!

🔥 2026 just turned the heat all the way up.

This year’s Neon Racing team has officially dropped—loud, fast, and impossible to ignore.

This crew? Different energy. Different edge. Already making noise. 💥
