First memory riding:
I didn’t have a clue what I was doing on the bike, but I loved the group of people that were out doing it so stuck around to figure it out!
On My Day Off:
I catch up on life, coffee, cooking, yoga, bills the normal stuff. I am taking an online course, coach and am president of my local bike association so there is no shortage of things to do!
