Top 9 Finish UNBOUND 2022, Miami Gravel & Foco Fondo Winner, 3rd at Rad Dirt, 4th at Gravel Worlds 2021, 5th at Gravel Worlds 2022, 5th at BWR Lawrence
Selected to compete in the inaugural Lifetime Grand Prix (1 of 30 women)
Would rather ride 12 hours than 1
Why Bikes?
Simply put, I like hard things. I find most things in life get easier as you dedicate time and work to them. Cycling, on the other hand, requires more than that. It's a combination of strategy, luck, and the art of riding. The faster you get the harder it becomes to level up. I'm not a natural talent on the bike -- I have to work hard to compete, but I love that humble and hardworking attitude cycling requires. Because success doesn't come easily to anyone in this sport, I find that I learn more about myself and about life in general navigating the ups and downs of competitive racing. Without it, life would just be too linear.

Can ride a wheelie and drink a beer at the same time
Why Bikes?
I ride bikes for two simple reasons: I enjoy pedaling and the freedom that comes with it. My bike is unrestricted and can take me anywhere. I also find the community that comes with cycling to be irreplaceable. I'm eternally grateful for the friends I've met through the bike and look forward to meeting more.

Why bikes?
After a crash and broken wrist in one of my first races I started working at local bike shop that sponsored the team I was on, that set a path of my love of bikes. The feeling of being free out on the bike and pushing myself to new limits has always been appealing. Finally bikes are just cool and a part of our earliest modes of transportation
