Megan
Jastrab

As an active child, Megan used to play any sport that she could, always wanting to be outdoors, having played football (or soccer as she calls it), running and baseball. At the age of 11, her brother bugged her parents to let them ride with her dad so after borrowing her mum’s bike, Megan caught the cycling itch and never looked back: joining the local club and progressing through the ranks each year.

With big goals for 2021, Megan made the selection for the Olympic games in Tokyo with the USA Track Team where she was part of the bronze medal winning Team Pursuit squad.

“The team were really supportive and it helped me go for my goals of making it to the Olympics on the track. While on the road, I got to learn about what it’s like to be in the Women’s WorldTour, learn from my teammates and help them as much as possible in the races.”

With a level-headed attitude, Megan is an incredibly driven individual who shows maturity beyond her years, with the talkative and outgoing American imparting and living by some insightful advice:

“There is always room for improvement, you can always get better in every aspect. You can’t perfect it, but you can always keep progressing.”

Away from the bike, you can find Megan studying for her current college/university course where she’s double majoring in business and exercise science, or in the kitchen honing her baking skills. Baclava and cookies are her two favourite things to bake!
