Board of Directors

Scott Nevin - President

I’ve been riding since getting my first ‘10-speed’ (it really did only have 10 speeds) at the age of 13. I’ve been riding ever since and nowadays ride road and gravel all year - searching for the good winter days here or somewhere a little warmer. I also enjoy bikepacking and am riding across the country bit by bit.

This is my third term on the WCC Board. I encourage other folks to get involved - our Club is nothing without volunteers.

Vance Lai - Vice President

Zack Maloney - Director

I stumbled my way into cycling in 2019 when I signed up to complete a charity ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls. After this ride I was crushed but energized to dive into the great sport of cycling and that is where it all began. I was a member of a cycling club in Toronto before moving back to the region (my hometown) in 2022 my first year with the Club. I started with the learn to group ride and immediately felt the sense of community within the club and members willingness to not only openly socialize but support each other. While still pretty new relative to other members on the board, in 2024, I have been fortunate enough to join the board. I spend most of my time road riding and am slowly dipping my toes into the gravel scene. I’m looking forward to furthering WCC’s mission and am excited to meet all the members in that process. Happy riding!

Dheeraj Nair - Director - Treasurer

I joined the Waterloo Cycling Club in 2021 after moving to Waterloo, but my cycling journey truly began in 2019. What started on a hybrid bike quickly turned into a passion, leading me to explore more serious riding. Gravel is my primary discipline, though I hope to try MTB someday.

In 2023, I took a big step with a fellow club member to organize two destination gravel rides over 200 km, an experience that deepened my love for long-distance gravel riding and community building. This year, I hope to continue that spirit by organizing similar rides while also contributing to the club as Treasurer, putting my financial skills to good use.

Jordan Lewis - Secretary

I bought my first adult bike from a WCC member when I moved to Kitchener in 2021. It was a Cannondale CX bike that I still love and put 15,000 trainer kms on in 2025! At the tender age of 30, cycling sunk its teeth into me and hasn’t let go. Today, I ride road and gravel, and try to race a couple times a year. In more ways than one, cycling has changed my life, and I value the opportunity to work with our club to bring cycling and everything it has to offer to more people across Waterloo Region. 

Carla Wilson - Director

I’ve been riding with the Waterloo Cycling Club since we moved to Waterloo in 2015 and have enjoyed the cycling community very much.  I started in the Learn to Group Ride and enjoyed Recreational rides after the six-week introduction was completed. On the Board, I can contribute ideas to encourage more cyclists to try club activities and better support newer members.  I take part in several events every year eg. The Tour de Grand, Tour de Norfolk, the Dunnville Tour, The Big Ride for Alzheimer’s with WCC and it would be great to see more WCC uniforms in these events.

Brent Ellis - Director

I'm proud to be a Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and look forward to continuing to help cycling grow in the Waterloo Region. I'm a past Treasurer and President of the Waterloo Cycling Club and one of the founding members of the WCC Trails Committee. Presently I am the Chair of the WCC Trails Committee. My plan for rejoining the Board is centred around bringing the Trails Committee and Board closer. Over the last couple of years the Hydrocut has grown tremendously and as a WCC board member I will continue to pursue and manage that growth.

Sean MacCormack - Director

I initially got into cycling in high school, where I raced road (unsuccessfully) for two years before going off to university. After some time off the bike, playing other sports, I, like many, got back on the road during COVID, and haven’t looked back.

I rejoined WCC in 2020, and spend almost all my time on road, primarily leading G2 on Tuesday and Thursday night, or trying to hold onto wheels in G1. I hope to see you out on the road!

Valentina Castillo  - Director

I’ve always been around bikes since I was a kid, but I really got into cycling during the pandemic. Originally from Chile but now based in Kitchener, I joined the club in 2021 and started riding with them more regularly in 2023. I’m passionate about community building and advocating for getting more women on bikes. I lead the Gravel Galz rides, a women’s-only gravel series focused on building confidence and joy on the bike, as well as intermediate gravel rides and also support cyclocross practices. I’ve been honoured with the club’s Community Champion Award for my contributions, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the club and connecting with more members as a board member.
