Club Team

Katie is excited to be a new member of Naked/Tribella club team. She started riding in 2006 after a running injury. A hip fracture had her confined to crutches for 8 months. She couldn’t run, she couldn’t even walk, but she could ride a bike. During recovery, she started taking cycling classes and eventually made the transition to road biking. She became an indoor cycling instructor and currently teaches 3-5 classes per week. Though she hasn’t raced, she spends summers doing century rides like the Lake Tahoe Century, Triple Bypass and Copper Triangle. Katie also works in emergency medicine as a physician assistant. She lives in Denver with her cycling partner (boyfriend) and her running partners (two dogs, Kaja and Buddha).

If you could ride your bike anywhere, where would it be? TDF course. Though, I’ve always thought riding across the US coast to coast would be fun.
