Gabby writes … a lot has been going on this year for me. I have been away from racing for a little while and I have made some big decisions over the past couple months. I am retiring from professional cycling and I am very happy to be moving on to the next chapter in my life.

I have been racing professionally for the past 13 years, and they were the most amazing years of my life. The memories and friendships i’ve made along the way will stay with me forever. I have written a blog about what I have been going through over the past couple years with depression and losing the spark for racing. I am very proud of what I have accomplished, and am excited to find that spark in the next adventure and chapter in my life.

Thank you all for all the great years, and this won’t be the last of me you will see around cycling.
