Rider of the Week



Name - Megan Kelly


Hometown - Saint Cloud, MN

Interests/Activities -
I'm a grad student in Water Resources Science, where I study water pollution, so that's pretty much the only thing I do other than bike racing.

How'd you get into cycling? - I bought my first bike in February 2009. It happened to be a cyclocross bike, but I mainly bought it just to ride around. Then someone told me that cyclocross was a thing, and showed me this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWGnM_1ViZA -- I HAD to try it! So I started road racing (on my cross bike) to get in shape. One thing led to another, and all of a sudden I was racing road and track every week.


Favorite Riding Memory - Eating most of a blueberry-rhubarb pie immediately following the road race at 2011 Collegiate Road Nationals.

Favorite Pro Rider - Marianne Vos!
