Rebecca Hudson graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from UW-Madison in 2012. Since then, she has alternated between work as a software engineer and embarking on bicycle adventure trips around Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and the Continental Divide through Montana and Wyoming. She is a United Bike Institute-certified professional bicycle mechanic, suspension technician, and bicycle wheel builder, and a lifetime member of the Adventure Cycling Association. When not engineering software, she hunts edible mushrooms, fishes for trout, rides longboards, paints, dances, draws, sings, climbs fake rocks and trees, takes things apart, devises how to consume ever-increasing amounts of garlic, reads paper periodicals and impenetrable books, talks to strangers, and walks and cycles over Madison's lakes when they are frozen.
