I started riding and racing for Tieni Duro when I was 12. I started on a brand new bike I had just gotten a couple months before and really enjoyed it. I was lucky that some other kids had joined the team within a couple weeks of each other, and throughout the years I still race with them and I have become very good friends with them. Along with being able to race for the team I met tons of new friends that also love to ride their bikes.
2010 was the best year and last year I had on the team. I really saw the team come together and work extremely well as a team. I was able to get my cat 3 upgrade and race at Nationals, and got my first win. This has not only been a highlighted year for me, but for the whole team as well. I look forward to going further in my cycling career as a U23 next year. |
