If you’ve ridden with us at one of our century rides, chances are you’ve ridden alongside (or been passed by) Deb Neuville. The avid cyclist gets out nearly every day and is always up for adventure. Door County Living profiled her to give a glimpse of this motivating rider.
It’s not easy to keep up with Deb Neuville. It’s not just that she bikes at speeds of up to 19 and a half miles per hour. Or that the week before our conversation, she had logged 237 miles. Even when she’s merely talking about biking, she has so much to say — and with such enthusiasm — that just when I felt like I had a handle on what she was talking about, we were on to something else.
In fairness, our phone interview took place on Neuville’s way to work, so we had limited time. As we were wrapping up, our conversation ended with a kind of nonchalant mention of the children’s bike-safety program that she helps to run — one that gives out 300 helmets. I promised to follow up by email to get the details.
Neuville sent me a text after we’d hung up: “I get a little excited when I talk about biking.”
