Story

I began cycling in 2016. Within a year I came to love the sport and grew stronger each year. In 2019, I completed four double centuries (200 miles in a day). After moving in 2020 however, my frequentency of riding waned. 

In September 2021, I completed 113 of the Chafe 150 miles. I was riding with a health condition, and I spent 2022 healing from an operation. I did not ride the Chafe150. I'm excited being further along in healing to train towards completing the total 150 miles this year.

The Chafe150 is a fitting opportunity to raise money for something dear to my heart while working towards my cycling goals. I currently work in Elementary education and have taught middle school Language Arts. Getting books into the their hands, their homes and memories with family is priceless.
