Museum friend Charlie Vogelheim let us know that two young racers are looking for housing in Marin County while training here this winter. Read their bios below, and send us a DM if you'd like to help!
Hi! We’re Chloe and Makena, two 22 year old cyclists and recent college graduates looking to spend the winter in California training for our 2027 seasons. We’re both at an exciting point in our cycling careers and are hoping to find a place where we can spend November through March putting in a big block of training, enjoying the outdoors and becoming part of a local cycling community.
We put together a little about ourselves and what we’re looking for below. Thanks so much for taking the time to read about us!
Hi! I’m Chloe Fraser, a 22-year-old cyclist from Boulder, Colorado. I started racing when I was 14, beginning in mountain biking and cyclocross, and eventually had the opportunity to race for the U.S. in both disciplines. I just finished my first full season focused on road racing, and it’s been a really exciting transition. This year I finished 3rd at U23 Road Nationals and had several strong results racing in Europe, and I’m now hoping to take the next step and sign a professional road contract in Europe for the 2027 season. I just graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a degree in International Relations and Sociology, and outside of cycling I’m happiest when I’m outside exploring somewhere new, making art or baking sourdough.
And I’m Makena Kellerman, a 22-year-old mountain biker from Escondido, California. I started racing when I was 12 and have spent the last decade working my way through the sport, racing at the highest levels of U23 mountain biking. I’ve spent the 2026 season racing for the US national team, with multiple World Cup wins and podiums, and just finished 3rd at the U23 short track World Championships! I also recently graduated from Colorado Mesa University, where I raced throughout college, and I’ve signed a professional contract in Europe for the 2027 season. Outside of cycling, I love watercolor painting, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with friends.
What we’re looking for–
We’re hoping to find somewhere to stay between November and March where we can really settle in and focus on training before our 2027 seasons. We’re both planning a big base period, so our days will mostly consist of long hours on the bike, eating lots of carbs, recovering and doing it all over again the next day :)
We’re very easygoing and independent, and we live a pretty calm, low-maintenance lifestyle that allows us to train at the highest level. We’d love to contribute wherever we can, whether that means helping around the house or property, taking on regular work in exchange for housing, helping with cycling related projects, or contributing financially toward rent.
We’re ultimately just looking for a good place to train, but we’d also love to be people who contribute to the household and community around us and become part of the local cycling community for the winter!
Thank you!!
