Meredith Miller

Meredith Miller (born December 26, 1973) is a Cyclo cross and road cyclist from United States. She was educated at Guilford High School, where she graduated in 1992, and went on to attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison and San Francisco State University, where she earned a B.S. and an M.A. in kinesiology in 1996 and 2002 respectively. Miller competed in track athletics in high school and soccer in both high school and college. After graduating from college she played semi-professional soccer for a team in Madison for one season before the team disbanded, following which she was introduced to cycling by her then boyfriend. The racing was fun, the season a success, and the relationship remained for the next six seasons.

In 2009, Miller joined Team TIBCO. She joined up with 2008 national road champ Brooke Miller, as well as Katharine Carroll, Jerika Hutchinson, Amber Rais, Alison Starnes, and Lauren Tamayo. While signed as a domestique to support Miller, she rode to her biggest victory on the road, winning the national road race championship. That resulted in a ride at the World Road Championships in Mendrisio, Switzerland, where she rode in support of Kristin Armstrong (4th).

In 'cross, she grew as a racer, finishing second at the nationals in 2009, earning a ride at the 2010 Cyclocross World Championships. The trip starting a seven-year streak of representing the United States at cyclocross worlds.

2010, she continued to split her time between TIBCO on the road and Cal Giant in cyclocross. At TIBCO, she became the road captain, calling the shots for the team from inside the peloton. In cyclocross, she finished third at nationals.

As the road season drew to a close in 2013, she decided to call it quits on her road career, and dedicate herself to cyclocross. She told VeloNews, "This year, I'm still having fun, but I'm definitely getting tired and not wanting to be away from home so much anymore, and just felt it was the right time, I still don't know what I'm going to do next."

Next turned out to be starting a cyclocross team. For the 2014 season, she started the Noosa Professional Cyclocross Team. Her role was rider, co-manager, and co-owner. She secured and managed the sponsors, worked on public relations, managed the team budget and logistics and staff, and still managed to train and race. The biggest win in her 'cross career came at CrossVegas, debuting her new team at the event, in front of the entire bike industry and a star-packed field.

While racing for Noosa in cyclocross, she raced intermittently for Pepper Palace on the road to keep fitness ahead of the cyclocross season.

Retirement She retired from cyclocross at the conclusion of the 2015–16 cyclocross season.

Even in retirement, she's been busy. She won Grinduro in 2016, followed up by a fifth place in a "local" cyclocross race, the U.S. Open of Cyclocross in Boulder.

After Grinduro, she told Cyclocross Magazine, "When I retired from racing, I still loved my bike. I still loved racing, in fact. I was tired of intervals. I was tired of having to ride my bike. Without the stress of structured training, I've enjoyed riding my bike even more."

In January 2018 she won the U.S. Women's National Singlespeed Cyclocross Championship in Reno, Nevada.

She currently works for Shimano America and lives in Boulder, Colorado.
