Hello everyone, first I just wanted to say thank you for welcoming me to your group and the rides. Davina let me tag along on the Saturday morning ride and what a beautiful ride. It’s all new to me because I’m from the States and I’ve never been to Australia before, let alone Perth!
I’m a professional rider for Team TIBCO but you will see me in my previous team kit, Colavita Forno D’Asolo(#1 USA team 2011) and I’m here for an amazing month of training in preparation for the 2012 season. I live and train mostly in Colorado but I was born and raised in Mississippi. My grandfather played in the NFL and I grew up playing soccer, thinking I would be a professional soccer player but when I didn’t get the offer, I turned to cycling.
I’ve been a professional for 3 years now and this year will be my first full UCI schedule, how exciting!
I’ve already seen the awesome network you all have after my bike issue on Saturday, thank you Dr. Melvyn! I was in need of a bike after Saturday morning’s ride and by Saturday afternoon, I had a loaner.
I look forward to meeting everyone! I may be a bit quiet but I’m sure that’s because I’m trying to make sure I understood you:) Thanks everyone for all the help and patience, see you on the road!
Hey Lauren, welcome to Oz and welcome to SPR. Sadly I know we didnt all get to meet you at the coffee shop this week due to West Coast Highway bumper cars but looking forward to next time.
Oh and you probably didnt need to write that you are a pro, anyone who saw you fly up Ewen St would have guessed either that or Superwoman!
