Tasha (she/her)

Tasha participated in our Starting Line program in 2022, raced her heart out in road and gravel throughout the season, AND she guest rode with our team for Grounded Nebraska in June. She’s also big in the roller derby scene. (How could we NOT have her join us?)

Tasha moved to Minneapolis 6 years ago to play for Minnesota Roller Derby. When 2020 rolled around, she and her friends started a bike gang so that they could still keep their community while staying physically active. In that time she has gone from being terrified of test riding her first bike in the parking lot of her LBS, to bikepacking on the GDR with Adventure Cycling, racing in this year’s criterium series, and traveling far and wide to crush some tasty gravel.

As a self-described fat athlete and size inclusion advocate, she wants everyone to know that cycling, along with every sport or activity, is for EVERY body.

In her downtime, you can find her at home playing Magic and other games with her partner, and snuggling their two pups who are, in fact, very good girls.
