“I began racing bikes in college as off-season training for alpine skiing. The two sports are very complimentary and require strong fitness and a love of speed and cornering. Following a successful ski racing career in college where I achieved two NCAA team titles, All-American individual recognition and short stint racing World Cup, I continued bike racing before having a family of three. This led to a hiatus in my riding. I returned to the sport several years ago with fervor, racing in various events at the Master’s level and earning numerous podiums this past summer in Omniums, Road-races and Crits. For the fun of it I also competed in the Lutsen 99’er on a fantastic Salsa El Mariachi.”
