Dan Abate
Operations

With his enthusiasm and energy, Dan brings his own level of excitement to all of the EX2 races. A Maryland native, Dan purchased his first mountain bike in 1999 and has been hooked ever since. After several years hammering local trails like Schaeffer Farm and Patapsco St. Park; touring along the East coast doing charity rides from Raleigh, NC to Washington DC; and vacationing in fantastic mountain bike playgrounds in Utah and Nevada, Dan decided to take on new challenges and adventures. What better place to accomplish that than with EX2 Adventures! Beginning with the first Backyard Burn of 2005, Dan continued throughout that season volunteering at most of the 2005 races, including racing in all 3 Cranky Monkey events.

Dan has since competed in five 24 hour mountain bike relay races, logged more than 30 hours of local trail maintenance, competed in his first marathon (relay style) and one adventure race. Supporting Dan behind the scenes are his wife Renea and six year old daughter Jovanna.

He is excited with the opportunity at each race to help many of the racers accomplish their race goals and more importantly, to help you have a lot of fun with EX2.
