Enthusiastic race filler! That’s what I am, and I am damn proud of that. After I won nationals last year, I “retired*”. To anyone around me, we all know that this is a joke. I’m not finished, I’m not done, I’m not going to rack the bike. This was the beginning of my ‘Victory lap…

After that race, and the subsequent legend status of that day, I decided cross was something I wanted to get involved in. Cyclocross or…
Wow another winter has come and gone. It’s always sad when The summer track season ends, but mostly because summer is over, but the track season doesn’t actually end. I’ve now been racing RAW for 4 seasons. I made my debut in 2011. I was encouraged to race by my speed skating coach. She said…
