For four-time American champion and 2021 Olympian Erin Huck, preparing for race day is a little different these days than it used to be. Filling the bottles, checking the tire pressure, checking the route and changing diapers. Competing at the highest level is tough, but balancing it with a full-time career as an engineer and Erin's favorite job, being Brennen's mom, presents some unique challenges. Nonetheless, there's no place Erin Huck would rather be than in the middle of team "Huck Yeah."

Erin started mountain biking relatively late and entered the World Cup scene when she was already 30. But it wasn't until she was nominated for the Olympic Games that she considered herself a real mountain biker. It was on the Olympic journey that she met Andrew Clemence, who is now her husband and mechanic. And in 2022, Team Huck Yeah welcomed its third member, Brennen Huck.

After a break, the urge to ride again had to be satiated, and Team Huck Yeah started racing again. With a bigger suitcase, a diaper bag and two bikes in tow, the family team returned to the racecourses. After a successful 2023 season, Erin looks back on her previous prejudices. "I was under the misconception that you can't be a cyclist once you become a mother or pursue a career. And that's not true." However, she is also aware that her current lifestyle brings with it unique challenges.

In 2024, Team Huck Yeah will compete in the Life Time Grand Prix, and Erin has been selected as one of only 30 elite female riders.
