In an effort to give readers/followers a look inside the team and its partners, we’re launching the occasional question and answer feature called “The Last 200 Meters.”
The idea is to take a two minute interview, or emailed Q&A, and see what happens.
This installment features Kris Tiles. She’s not afraid of mud and will ride just about anything with two wheels, but does draw the line somewhere:
Name: Kris Tiles
Home: Central Wisconsin
Occupation: Educator
Disciplines: If it has two wheels, I ride it. Except fat bikes. I don’t ride fat bikes
Tiles getting dirty at the 2015 Wisc. State Cyclocross Championships.
Years racing/riding: Started riding in 2002
2015 highlights: Finishing the Mt. Borah Epic and (mostly) surviving Wausau24.
Why you ride/race: To hang out with fun people.
Most dreaded bike repair: Anything that gets my hands dirty.
Movie or song that best summarizes your life: Real Genius, but only because I love that movie and “Everybody Wants to Rule The World“. “It’s a moral imperative”
Misc.: We are all human beings, whether on a bike or in a car, and we need to respect each other and be safe.
