Emmi Gilbert is a dynamic young road cyclist from Omaha, Nebraska, bringing a background in cross country running and triathlon to the sport. Though she’s been riding bikes since grade school, Emmi officially entered the competitive cycling scene in the fall of 2023 as a member of the University of Arizona Cycling Team.Since then, she has raced at three Collegiate National Championships—two in road and one in cyclocross—quickly gaining experience and making a name for herself as a hardworking and versatile rider.
Emmi’s passion for the sport is matched by her curiosity and drive off the bike, where she studies environmental science and enjoys everything from hiking to classic car restoration.In 2025, Emmi joins Virginia’s Blue Ridge TWENTY28, where she’ll continue to develop her talent and pursue her goals at the elite level.
I love the competitive nature that cycling brings. I also love to ride hard and fast, both up and down hills
My dad is a huge inspiration to me, both on and off the bike. I grew up wanting to be more like him everyday, he’s a prime example of what a great person is. I wouldn’t be who I am today without my dad.

I love to learn about cars, specifically late ‘60s - early 2000’s. I think they are very interesting and seeing the progression between now and 60 years ago is quite fascinating.
