About Me

I don't believe in regret. Live. Learn. Slow. Intense. (except on the bike) Raced on the pro circuit many years in Europe and still race as much as I can. This is my first season racing in the USA. I ride for Mercy Cycling Women's Elite team and am currently the State Road Champion. I own a bike touring company, and organize cycling vacations throughout Europe and the United States. I listen to music too loud. I drive my car too fast. I recycle. I live in church. I hate milk. I love my steak raw. I hate the cold. I was a home birth and weighed over 10lbs. I listen to cheesy 80s music and EuroDisco. I live to ride. I ride to live. I love mojitos.

My Interests

Cycling - Physical Exhaustion - People - Cities - Languages - Slow Food - Slow Cities - Slow Living - Finding the best mojito in town - Cycling - Cooking - Urbanism - Organic Gardening - Buying Used Furniture - Beer - Mosaics - Tracking Down Custo Barcelona - Living more on less -
