Pro-Cyclist and Braniac!: An Interview with #Petaluma’s Alison Tetrick

Wayne: One of you highlights in 2013 was your first race on a track in the USA Elite Nationals Team Pursuit.  How was racing on a track different than road racing for you? 

Alison: There are no brakes and no shifting!  It is all about going fast, turning left, and never stopping pedaling!  The track has a high intensity and requires different skills than the road, but I loved the challenge!

 

Wayne: Is an Olympic run a possibility or dream for you in the future? 

Alison: A girl can always dream!

Wayne:  Thank you for the interview it was a pleasure.

Alison: Thank you for the interview
