We all search for the moment when we are at utter peace and find the perfection we are in search of. When nothing matters but a single point in time and we can truly understand our place in the world. I am Samantha Newman, 36, riding since I was a child. Racing since 2001, Category 2 Elite Cyclist and US certified cycling coach. It is my passion and hope that I can truly show people what cycling means to me but more importantly what it can mean to them.

“I have always loved riding my bike and when you take it all away, the racing the competition it just comes down to the fact that I enjoy the freedom that 2 wheels and a frame can give me."
