Brand New Year


How exciting! I graduate this year, will begin my career (hopefully, if I get a job), race my final season here at Purdue, and begin racing in the inaugural season of my new team Sustainable Cycling. Hopefully all of these events will lead to exciting experiences as well as great tan lines.

So, a little bit about my new team. We are based out of Columbus, IN (although the majority of our racers are based here in West Lafayette) and our goal is to be a carbon-neutral team. We plan to purchase carbon offsets for all of the travel we do to races as well as training. The offsets will go to Native Energy to pay for building new wind farms that provide sustainable energy. In addition to being carbon-neutral, we hope to organize some environmental projects with our local communities....oh...and we hope to win a lot of bike races along the way.

Hopefully I'll be able to post regularly to keep you all up to date on my training, racing, and life in general....whatever crazy schemes I get involved in. 

Here's a little preview of things to come...our sweet team logo designed by a good friend we like to call Fink.
