The Last 200 Meters: Morgan Fisher

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.

In this edition one of our newest official members, Morgan Fisher, talks about why she rides and her first (upcoming) season of racing.

Name: Morgan Fisher
Home: Green Bay
Occupation: Registered Nurse, Yoga Therapist, YMCA Youth & Family Program Staff
Disciplines: All-around. Bring it on! If I’m going to start doing this thing, I might as well try them all, right?

Years racing/riding: This is my first year of racing! I was waiting for the right team to come along for me to join.
2015 highlights: Becoming an RN. Cheering on the Gryphons at a variety of races. Riding my first century.
Why do you ride/race: I enjoy the team support with training. I want to become faster, and racing will challenge me to do that. I am scared to race, so I feel I should do it because I like to challenge myself to do things that make me uncomfortable. My past experience has proven that doing all of those uncomfortable, new things have given me wonderful new relationships, skills, and memories.
Most dreaded bike repair: If I had to do anything that required a chain braking, I would need a lot of guidance. I’m not scared to work on my bike, but if possible I would like to have an expert next to me to tell me what to do.
My “dream” ride destination is: I would love to tour in the Scandinavian countries. Less “dreamy”, and more realistic: I’ve been saying for years that I want to ride around the northern shore of Lake Michigan from Green Bay and come home on a ferry. (I hear there is a great bakery in Traverse City, and I’d like to see the Michigan beaches.)
Movie or song that best summarizes your life: “Closer I am to Fine” by the Indigo Girls or “This is Why We Fight” by The Decemberists.
Misc.: When I’m not riding a bike, you might find me riding my horse Lloyd.
