Age:

30

Job Title:

Microbiologist

Yrs at FDA:

1 1/2

Yrs Cycling:

I’m going to have to say 29 as my sister used to take me on her paper route when I was just a babe. If you mean competitively, I guess I got my first tricycle around age 3, so you could say I have 27 years of competitive riding under my belt

Fitness Level:

In reality …out of shape. However, I like to think that at 40 weeks pregnant, lugging this belly around counts for something, so let’s be creative and say “surprisingly mobile”

Ride Training:

Not sure yet. Let’s get this baby out first
