Like many dedicated riders, Jillian Bearden started riding bikes at a young age. However it wasn’t until she got older that racing bikes even became a thought in her mind. “I’ve been attached to my bike since I was little. It was my transportation until I got a car at sixteen. In my twenties I was hitting the trails more and more and finally thought, I want to see where my fitness level is at, and in 2008 I hit my first race.” Jillian has been racing bikes and crushing it on the U.S. Pro Peleton ever since.
