Tell us something inspiring and/or unique about yourself that relates to cycling.
I love combining my passions of cycling and photography. Cycling makes it easy to see new places, and to get inspired to shoot new and fun shots. I’ve enjoyed exploring and combining art and sport!
What is the biggest accomplishment you’ve made on a bike?
I rode to the beach from Raleigh – twice! Both were super fun 170-mile days. It was an awesome feeling of accomplishment when we arrived.
What’s the biggest challenge you faced with regards to cycling and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge is realizing everyone has different strengths with riding – some are great climbers, some are great sprinters, some are great distance riders, some are super fun folks to chill with. I realized I may not be able to hang with some of the fastest or quickest cyclists, and that’s ok. As long as I’m having fun on the bike, that’s what matters most to me.

We are so lucky to have over 100 miles of greenway, great group rides, and fun parks and trails! Raleigh riding is great!
