OUR STORY

Like any epic tale, this one started small. Two people fell in love, opened a business, quit their day jobs, and dedicated their lives to their shared passion of biking and the forest.

Night Owl Cycling began in 2015 when Kelly Campo filed LLC papers with the State of Washington. By 2016, Heidi had quit her marketing and business development job to work on NOC full time, Kelly and Heidi were married in May, and in August they bought 122.6 acres of forestry land for their future home and bike shop.

KELLY CAMPO

CEO, Mechanic, Advocate

Your bike is in good hands. Night Owl Cycling owner Kelly Campo has been working on bikes since he was a teen. Kelly attended Portland’s United Bike Institute's Pro Bike Mechanics class and continues to update his skills through UBI’s on-going continuing ed concerning the latest in bike technology and service. Kelly teaches classes on bike maintenance and repair for our customers.

Kelly has been encouraging and teaching others how to mountain bike for years. He is a FIT Level II Certified Instructor under retired downhill pro racer Simon Lawton (Fluidride). Kelly is spending a lot of quality time with his mini U17 excavator building trails throughout their 120 acres of forestry land. The trails will be “built for teaching” and filled with features to help you learn and master all the skills you need for mountain biking.

Kelly incorporated his love of biking into his previous “day job” for nearly 30 years as a physical therapist. He has helped countless athletes with injuries and incorporated bike fitting into his job as well. Kelly is a certified cycling coach and is trained in the assessment of both running and cycling biomechanics. In addition to mountain bike racing and road cycling, he has competed in numerous triathlons. Kelly has volunteered multiple times with the medical team for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.

Kelly is dedicated to our mountain bike community and has served on the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance Westsound Chapter council, was the Project Manager for the new Port Gamble Ride Park, currently serves as co-chair on the Port Gamble Stewardship Committee, and trails committee.

HEIDI CAMPO
