Cracked Cat
I never intended to be a biker.
I intended to be a horse trainer, then a veterinarian, then a Ph.D, and then I realized that all these things were overrated. I became a mom during the process of earning my Ph.D in veterinary science, and after discovering I was pregnant with yet another child during my graduate degree, I acquired a MS instead of a Ph.D.
After a short stint in a research lab, I decided my place was in the home with my kids. My type A, overachieving, still slightly competitive personality was not fully satisfied however. That is when I discovered running.
When I found myself doing laps in the pool after a running injury, I realized I was only one sport short of a triathlon. That’s when I met Mary, my biker buddy and mentor. And that is how I became a biker (at age 35, no doubt).
As a runner, I rescued many a turtle from absolute death. I would hit stop on my Garmin and dash to its side, gently pick it up and set it on the side of the road. Stay out of the road, little buddy.
Because at heart, I am a crazy animal person. You know the type: usually worked as a vet tech for some period, owns at least one three-legged animal, has taken out loans to pay for her dog’s cancer treatment … owns chickens. We like to rescue all creatures great and small.
As a biker, you cover much, much more ground. The animal lover in me was bursting with lust as I spotted deer and wild turkey on my outing in the hills of Scott County. And when the opportunity to rescue a baby bird from the center of the road presented itself, I demanded we stop and we did. The little veterinarian in me became more and more satisfied with each ride.
