“My name is Kathleen Medley, but I prefer to be called “Taffy”. My athletic career began in 2014 as I was turning 50 yrs old. After medaling in my first ever 5k race, I’ve been hooked on competitive racing. Due to injury, in 2017 I started cycling and fell in love with the sport. Since then, I’ve become a duathlete, Spartan, entered into the vEveresting Hall of Fame, and earned the titles: 2021 Rapha Cycling Club – NYC Overall Distance Champion, and 2021 Major Taylor National Riding Challenge Winner for Total Elevation and Biggest Elevation Ride/Women. I’ve participated in 5k races and cycling events from NY to as far south as TX. I share my love of cycling with everyone I meet and encourage others; regardless of age, to get into the sport! I’m super excited to be selected as a member of the phenomenal PBESquad for the 3rd year and can’t wait to see what new experiences 2022 will bring! I am also a member of the USATF, USA Triathlon, South Jersey Bike Crew, KRT/QRT Cycling Club, Philly Major Taylor Cycling Club, Rapha Cycling Club of NYC and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I enjoy spending time with my husband and adorable Shar Pei, “Pumpkin”; amazing adult children & grandchildren, singing in my church praise team, and Wowing clients with my exceptional event planning skills. Congrats to my fellow PBE Squadders! Let’s do this!!!”
