// Q&A with Shannon

Why cycling?

 

I love being challenged each day in what I do; I get to follow my dream and fulfill my passion; and I love that cycling takes you all over the world, and teaches you so many great lessons in life. 

 

Favorite ride: 
 

Anywhere in Italy. 

Favorite cycling moment (so far):

 

Winning the Nationals road race in 2018 

2019 goals:

 

Be consistent in the Women’s World tour races that I have on my calendar; work hard to be at a level that I am good enough to represent Australia in the 2019 World championships. 

When not riding, I like to...:

 

Sing and play piano; and draw/sketch 

Favorite warmup song:

 

24k magic by Bruno Mars

Oatmeal with cinnamon, yoghurt, and banana. 

Any advice to future // aspiring cyclists?

 

Love what you do and do what you love!

My nickname is Dash - short for Dashchund because I have really short legs and a long torso.
