Name: Melanie Meyers - Mel, to most
Occupation: Professional drinker of coffee, rider of bicycles, and maker of maps
Hometown: Do you want to see my Flagstaff, AZ?
Current Residence: Sunny Tucson, AZ
Birthday: April 23, 1985
About: I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink way too much coffee and not enough beer. My hairdresser once asked me if she could fix my makeup, because apparently my helmet tan-lines look like a bad layer of foundation. I am a full-time cyclist and a full-time student…which do you think I spend more time doing? I tend to crash on my left knee a lot. I have a dog named Hayduke. My favorite TV show is Beauty and the Geek. That’s all.
