I have been a dot-watcher for many years, vicariously experiencing endurance racing through other people's experiences on TCR, TransAm, and other racers. In 2018 I decided that it is finally time for my own adventure, and to see if I can ride my bike for a week!

Before I started training, my longest ever ride was 160km. Training for this race has made me push this number higher and higher, and it has also introduced me to new roads and friends via audax and long-distance brevet events. Looking forward to meeting all the other racers of ratn2019!
