About Nikka:

Nikka is a junior cyclist who joined LGBRC in 2006. She is an awesome climber who especially excels at Road Racing.

When asked to explain how she got started in cycling, she comments, "My dad, Greg, (also an LGBRC member) is an avid cyclist. As far back as I can remember, he was always riding. Sometimes he lugged me along with him on our trail-a-bike. We would always watch the Tour de France together, cheering for USP. After I learned how to ride, I set a goal to learn to ride up Cat's Hill. When I learned it was a race, I was going to do it for sure, which led me to buying my first road bike. I figured that with a bike as great as this one, I couldn't just use it for one race! Soon I was racing in Early Birds, Snelling, Cherry Pie Crit, Sunday socials, Copperopolis, and the Hellyer Park Velodrome. Looking forward to nationals!

Her greatest cycling achievement so far? "That's an easy one. Winning the 2008 SJBC/SugarCRM Memorial Day Crit. That was probably the most rewarding win ever!" 

Be sure to watch for Nikka's future cycling achievements!

Nikka was mentioned in the Los Gatos Weekly-Times in March of 2007.
