Melissa Dahlmann- Team Adam’s Inline 

 

Bio:

I grew up expecting to be an ice speedskater, just like my dad. I learned how to speedskate as a child, and took up racing during high school. My breakthrough year on ice finally came several years later, when I qualified to compete at the U.S. National Long Track competition. I have competed at 3 Nationals now, and my best placement came in 2011, with a 4th in the women's longest race, the 5k. Between ice seasons, I took up inline speedskating a couple years ago, as an alternative to my usual bike racing. I enjoyed my inaugural season racing at the Roseville Oval Summer Inline Series, and the next year, 2011, I won the women's division of the series. I am now branching out into road racing as well. I hope my transition to the "big wheels," after skating on 5X80's, goes smoothly!

Adam Bradley - Team Adam’s Inline owner

HI: This is Adam. I own Adam’s Inline and proud to sponsor these fine skaters. I try to build the best team not only in skating ability, but like-ability. I have raced myself for years and plan to continue. I like to train more on bikes than skate. Wave at me next time your see me on the trail. I have done well in track racing, placing 3 in Cat #1 a few years in a row at Str8Sk8 race series, and almost broke the 800 meter time trail record one year with a time of 1 min 8.7 seconds. I plan to stick to marathons from now on.

Mat won the first race he ever entered at age 5 in 1978 on quads at the local rink.  From 1978 to 1986 I showed up and won several races but never joined the team.  Started skating Aggressive Inline in 1987 and switched to Outdoor Inline Speed in 1989.  From 89 to 98 Mat mostly skated in 10Ks but also did some longer races including, The Chicago Marathon, Fennimore 50K Golden Eagle Roll, Biwabik 50K, John Rose Oval, Carson Park Inline Classic, NSIM and A2A.  Mat returned to skating in 2004 in the  STR8SK8 rosevile oval.
