I started riding mountain bikes when I was young, but a crash and torn rotator cuff when I was 13 helped me switch over to the less-jarring road bikes. I did my first road races later that year and haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t looked back since. I did a bunch of junior racing, a few stints in Europe and then got picked up by the Team Novo Nordisk development program when I aged into the U23 ranks. I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite ready to get picked up by a pro team as I aged out of the Devo program, but after a year on an elite team here in Texas, the newly licensed pro squad, Team Skyline, offered me a spot, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m now on my third year.\nHow did the team transition their 2020 racing schedule with the lack of outdoor events? What are Team Skyline\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goals for 2021? &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Texas Biking from Twitter<\/h1>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wNJ9lXIXIb\">pic.twitter.com\/wNJ9lXIXIb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SA Wheelmen (@sawheelmen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sawheelmen\/status\/1427382197678485505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/advcyclingassoc?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@advcyclingassoc<\/a>&#39;s Bike Your Park Day and register to participate: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xlv8TUC3bZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/xlv8TUC3bZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U7jb2givj9\">pic.twitter.com\/U7jb2givj9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BikeTexas (@BikeTexas) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BikeTexas\/status\/1427420927663431680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 17, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Over 40 bikes to bid on!
