Brookmyer McIntyre | Age 27 | Location Denver - New to DTE in 2025
Brookmyer McIntyre, originally from the mountains of Colorado, has spent the past eight years exploring the world but is returning to her roots in 2025 to reconnect with her home state. With a diverse journey that has taken her from the Andes of Chile to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, and most recently to the Chilterns in England, Brookmyer has built a life full of adventure, growth, and exploration. Her journey into competitive sports began with a deep love for whitewater kayaking. After moving to Chile to pursue kayaking in the Andes, she developed a strong connection to the outdoors and adventure. This passion led her to pursue a dream of competing in the Olympics in rowing, which eventually brought her to Oxford. Her Olympic dream didn’t progress and she found herself at a crossroads. She transitioned her focus to coaching junior girls’ rowing, helping them find confidence and strength, and developed a deep appreciation for the power of mentorship in sports. Through this experience she reinvigorated her passion for sport and began to plot a new path forward pursuing her own athletic goals.

While living in England, Brookmyer discovered cycling, which became her new outlet for performance and self-discovery. What began as a necessity for commuting soon transformed into the perfect fit to quench her thirst for racing and adventure. Cycling offered her a new way to challenge herself, and it quickly became central to her life.

Brookmyer has balanced full-time work in social media management, 15-20 hours of training each week, and coaching ambitions. She proudly coached the first-ever female crew from Maidenhead Rowing Club to compete at Henley Royal Regatta, further reinforcing her belief in mentorship and the importance of community. As she transitions back to Colorado, she is excited to connect with the local cycling community and build upon her athletic journey.

Her cycling goals for 2025 include building a strong foundation for her career, pushing her limits in races like Iron Horse, STB GRVL, and Highlands Gravel while working toward qualifying for the UCI Gravel World Championships. Looking further ahead, Brookmyer aspires to compete in multi-day endurance races, with an eye toward entering the pro field in the next five years and helping reshape the narrative of women’s cycling.

Returning to Colorado excites her not only for the racing opportunities but for the chance to immerse herself in a supportive community of athletes and contribute to the growth of the next generation of cyclists. Brookmyer is driven to elevate women in sport, continue her cycling journey, and inspire others to pursue their own dreams through determination and community.
