Liz lives in Iowa with her husband, Ryan, and 2 kids. She spends most of her time chasing toddlers, riding her bike, and working as a cycling coach and personal trainer.
Liz went on many recreational bike rides with her family. Being the youngest (and smallest!) child, she had to work hard to keep up! She got her first road bike senior year of high school and raced collegiate road cycling for the University of Northern Colorado.
She continued to race road for a few years after college, but when she met her husband, she discovered there was more fun to be had on the dirt! She started to race lots of mountain bike and cyclocross for the next few years before "retiring" to have kids. After taking about 5 years off, she discovered Zwift and immediately loved it. Who knew racing a bike that goes nowhere could be so fun?!
