Short bio
I’m Meghan McCallum, 39 years old from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Biking for fun and adventure has been an important part of my life for many years. I have always felt a sense of peace and connection in the outdoors, and I love to discover where two wheels can take me.
But my adventures came to a screeching halt when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 32. After making it through many months of treatments and surgeries, I had to rebuild from the ground up. I decided to train more intentionally to start participating in endurance bike events. I completed my first triathlon in 2022 and have been hooked ever since. Now, I'm stoked to add gravel to my adventure list! I'm that person who is always down for a ride, whether we're rolling between coffee shops, signing up for a gravel race, or embarking on a bikepacking trip.
