BACKGROUND
Sara is an avid mountain biker and competes in cross-country and ultra-endurance events and has also been a competitive runner and soccer player. She was a proud member of the Trek/VW Texas Regional mountain bike team during its existence. She currently rides for Bicycle Sport Shop and is the founder of the newly formed Bicycle Sport Shop Women’s Team and club component, which dedicates itself to the development of female athletes. Sara also rides for the AT&T Brain and Spine cycling team in road racing events. She is consistently ranked one of the top racers in Texas in both ultra-endurance (including 24 hour solo racing) and cross-country racing, and is ranked in the top 10 in her age category nationally.
Sara is a 23-year veteran of equestrian sports and has competed in both jumpers and dressage with a current focus on the latter. Sara has literally worked her way up the ranks in the sport: having secured barn cleaning and grooming positions since the age of 16, she has given herself access to a financially demanding world.

In addition to her work on the task force, Sara identified and helped secure seed funding for a very important 3.5 million dollar bicycle project in Southwest Austin.
In 2008, Sara was appointed by Mayor Wynn to serve on the city’s Urban Transportation Commission where she was subsequently appointed by the chair to head the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee.
