Finn N.

Captain Finn Nelson is in the Class of 2025 at Edina.
Favorite Local Trail: The Bog (Theodore Wirth)
Favorite Event or Trail Ever: MTB Nationals, Winter Park, CO
Favorite MCA Racecourse: Mt. Kato
Finn started Mountain Biking in seventh grade after seeing the team poster on the wall. He took a picture of it, sent it to his mom and they started riding together. The rest is history. He was nervous at the first practice, but so excited. That day Finn realized he found a team and sport that he truly loved and cared about. It has been more important to him over the last few years than he can express in words. Finn also enjoys working at Tonka Cycle & Ski.
