Mara Abbott Blog: My First Olympics!

Aug 5, 2016

I kept trying to think of something creative to write about this month… but since I am now in the Olympic Village getting ready for our race in just two days, it is a little hard to pick a different topic! This is my first Olympics, so it is very exciting for me to get to have my first experience here in Rio.  We’ve almost been here a week and the...

Mara Abbott Blog: Bike-to-Work Day

Jul 4, 2016

My favorite cycling day of the year, without a doubt, is Bike-to-Work Day.  It is a celebration not of bike racing, but rather bike commuting.  My own commuter bike might just be the love of my life.  Since I don’t own a car, we go everywhere together.  For the long hauls, we sometimes use my bus pass. For the big hauls I take along my Burley trailer.  With...

I just got home last night from the Tour of California.  I had a wonderful week there with the team.  It was a huge honor for me to get to be a part of the “host nation”.  As the only American on our team this year, I was very proud to get to show the other girls and staff some beautiful places in the USA – and secretly so excited when they...

After the Trofeo Binda in Italy at the end of March, I got to return home to compete at the Redlands Cycling Classic – the kickoff for the cycling season in America, and one of my favorite races. My Wiggle High5 management was generous enough to let me compete on a composite team at Redlands – The Amy Dombroski Foundation Team.  Amy was a good...

As an American on a Europe-based team, each spring provides a chance to choose a home base to use between races.  Since this year our team camp was scheduled in Mallorca, I decided that was a good sign that 2016 was a great opportunity to explore that island cycling mecca for the first time. I was reunited with the Wiggle crew at the Hotel Viva Blue.  I could...

Mara Abbott Blog: Mara’s Top Travel Tip!

Mar 8, 2016

As another cycling season starts, I thought I would share one of my top tips for traveling.  Sometimes cycling (or adventuring!) can take you to places where you don’t trust that the water is safe to drink.  This can lead to a) inconvenience while you try to find somewhere to purchase water, b) a lot of expense once you add up the small purchases of a bottle...
