Best cycling moment (so far) I think that would be one of my first cycling moments at the age of 3 when I received my brand new Barbie Bike w/ training wheels and matching helmet and pads. I bombed my driveway on Mountain Drive, hit the shoulder and was catapulted into a sandstone wall. The result: One concussion w/ minor frontal lobe damage (no wonder...), two gnarly black eyes, and the confidence to descend any trail I want to knowing that the worst is behind me.

Cycling Highlights: I have two...The first time was when I rode my pink Barbie Bike with no training wheels! I was 5 years old. The second time was when I won the National Indivdual Time Trial, 10 years later.

How did you develop an interest in cycling? I don’t recall “developing” an interest...more like cycling found me. But really, Cody and Rory helped the bike find me.

Favorite cycling discipline? Depends on my mood, which can change daily: if I’m feeling goofy and I want to teeter on the edge of disaster, cyclocross. If I’m feeling assertive and spontaneous, then the velodrome. If I’m feeling social and want to suffer with comrades, then road races. If I have a need for speed, then only a criterium will do...but if I want some solitude, the time trial is a perfect fit.

Best cycling moment (so far)? Truthfully, I have about a zillion...Junior shenanigans, too much laughter combined with lack of oxygen, and Rory-isms from the infamous Coach Rory. But the best was when I got on the rollers at the Velodrome Nationals. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, and I was getting really frustrated and falling off...I kept thinking “how am I ever going to be able to race, when I can’t even stay on the rollers?!?” It was the announcer that pointed it out over the loud speaker: “ Somer, I hate to break it to you....but you’re on them backwards”.
