| What is your day job? | I wake up, I do my stretching, and I drink coffee. This is how each day begins…and this not a job, this is living. And as the sun rises, the living continues; a balance of work at The Conservation Alliance, coaching athletes with Cycle-Smart International, training on the bike, spending time with my husband, Ben, and our pup, Piper, and being a positive influence on those around me. I don’t have a “day job”. I live. Period. |
|---|
| What is your biggest achievement? | Becoming a cyclist. Learning, studying and refining my craft. The craft of riding a bike. And being fortunate enough to do so for LIV. A great honor, and a great achievement. |
|---|
| What is your goal for 2018? | Say yes, then figure out the details. |
|---|
| Why do you love cycling? | Finding my limits and then going past them. Over and over again. |
|---|
| What do you love about Liv? | Our team. The authentic community of women who lift one another up and push the boundaries of what is possible with unyielding positivity and support. |
|---|
| What is one item you would never leave home without? | Any overnight trip requires three things: My Aeropress, my passport, and my bathing suit. That’s three items. |
|---|
| If you could learn a new sport or skill this year, what would it be? | I am going to race an enduro. And it is going to be petrifyingly amazing. |
|---|
| What is your favorite place to travel? | Lower Austria, in the Methow Valley. The most beautiful place on earth. |
|---|
| What is your favorite food? | Anything green, and from the garden. And carrot cake. |
|---|
| Who is your favorite riding partner? | All of them! |
|---|
| How do you spend your time off the bike? | Drinking coffee, making food, walking my pup and swimming in the river. Yeap, that is pretty much it… oh, and life. Life fits in there too. |
|---|
| What do you want to be "when you grow up"? | I have no idea.. .and I hope never to know. Each day I keep learning and growing and being. If an answer is required, Peter Pan. |
|---|
| Words you live by... | What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
