Cycling

Cycling is another one of my passions. Unlike running, where I've generally been more performance-focused, I've historically treated cycling as more of a leisurely activity. I started casually biking in 2019 and got more into long rides in 2020 before doing my first century ride in the summer of 2022. I'm lucky to also have gotten to explore a lot of cool places around the world on bike!

I've completed six century rides since starting my cycling journey:

• 2025-10-19 Poughkeepskie-New York (102.26 mi)
• 2025-07-13 Montauk Ride (128.23 mi)
• 2025-06-22 Schenectady-Poughkeepsie (114.58 mi)
• 2024-06-30 Brooklyn - Queens Century (108.56 mi)
• 2023-07-23 Tappan Zee Century (100.68 mi)
• 2022-07-30 Rockaways Century (100.07 mi)

My first bike race was the bike leg of the 2025 Jones Beach Half Ironman Relay, where I finished the 56 miles in 2:42:53 (avg 20.6 mph / 180 watts).

I also participated in the 2026 Marmotte Gran Fondo in southeastern France, a world-famous bike race which covers over 110 miles (177 kilometers) and 16,000+ feet (5,000 meters) of elevation gain! Unfortunately, I did not finish the race (although I did summit the Col du Glandon, a crazy climb) – however, it was a unique life experience and I hope to return one day to complete it!
