Aaron Oakes is a USA Cycling certified coach and has been racing for the past 10 years, currently competing as a Pro cross country mountain biker and UCI Elite cyclocrosser. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science from the University of Massachusetts with a double concentration in food science.  During the span of his racing career he has raced his way through full seasons in every category in mountain biking as a full time student or full time employee in the food industry.

Aaron's strengths as a coach include balancing the unique requirements of racing, training, school and working in each racing category. His strengths also include teaching off-road and cyclocross technical skills.

As president of the University of Massachusetts cycling club he enjoyed racing on the road, especially enjoying planning and executing road racing strategies and tactics. But ultimately he fell in love with mountain bike and cyclocross racing. On the mountain bike Aaron has raced every course in New England and New Jersey.  He's also raced most higher profile races on the East Coast, including Seven Springs, PA; Greenbrier Challenge in Maryland; Snowshoe, WV; and Banner Elk, NC.

In the cyclocross arena, Aaron is a two-time New Jersey Cyclocross Cup Champion in the Elite category as well as the 2007 State Champion. He's raced most high profile US Grand Prix of Cyclocross races in the Northeast, including Gloucester, MA and Mercer, NJ, and has also raced the Verge New England series, the Mid Atlantic series races, and the National Championships in Kansas.

Aside from his racing and coaching interests, Aaron is currently working on a Master's Degree in Food Science at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC.  He enjoys baking, chess, craft beer, learning, and photography in the time left over.
