I started cycling about two years ago when I was introduced to my first road bike. I was instantly impressed with the speed and efficiency in comparison to other bikes I have rode, and have loved it ever since. Since then I have enjoyed cycling as a way to explore new places, get exercise and fresh air, and also challenge myself. My first experiences in biking as a group were through a handful of charity events over the summer. The team environment was so much fun I knew it was definitely something I wanted to continue to do. While all of my riding as been recreational I hope to improve my cycling, get competitive, and have a lot of fun in the process.
