Biography I started my riding career in Bairnsdale, Victoria, 2011. I moved there for my first job after uni and my first housemate was a regular weekend rider. At that stage I was only a runner and rode my hybrid bike on the odd occasion. One of the annual community events was the Pink Ride which raised money for breast cancer. So I decided to do the 60km version of this. I had a ball and was very surprised to have made it, plus it was so much faster than running! Subsequently, I joined my housemate and did the weekend ride with the Caffeine Cruisers. After a few weeks one the of the MAMILs in the group lent me his daughters old racing road bike, now my current bike. Boy did it make a difference, I could actually keep up for most of the way now! After a year of 'loaning' the bike I eventually asked if I could just buy it off them. So I had my first proper bike! I lived there for 18 months after which moved to Sydney in August 2012. A few months of riding mostly by myself I then found the ERs and have being riding more than ever before. I just love the social aspect of cycling.
