I became interested in cycling after commuting by trailer cycle to elementary school. I started riding my bike up and down my block after school every day, and when I was tall enough to stoke a tandem, I joined my dad on longer weekend rides with a local cycling club.
In 2009 I joined my high school mountain bike team, and after a difficult first year of racing, I took up road riding over the summer to work on strength and endurance. My second season was fantastic, and I became interested in trying road racing. It only took one race for me to decide I loved it as much as mountain bike racing.
I joined Tieni Duro in July 2010, and have greatly enjoyed riding and racing with the team. I have already learned a ton from my awesome coaches and teammates. This year I would like to continue to work on sprinting and descending.
