What brought/brings you into cycling?
I used to be a runner, but I went to a cycling team event at a velodrome at my alma mater and started to love being on the bike a lot more.
Favorite race?
Reno road race
Biggest mistake before a race?
Eating too much or too little, and maybe not going to the port-a-potty at least two times.
What is your pre-ride/race ritual, if any?
Coffee, but again not too much that you have to go when the race starts. It needs to be taken with perfect timing.
What are you looking forward to this upcoming season?
Riding in the WCCC for the second year and having a blast with my new teammates.
Describe your favorite training ride (preferably a la SNL’s skit "The Californians”)
Best burrito place?
Haven’t found one yet since I’m new to LA.
Best coffee place?
Coffee Connection
Other interests?

Any final ruminations, musings, or meditations?
Give me a beautiful view at the top of a climb, and this girl will be beyond happy!
