Nikki Zimmerman is a consultant for IBM and on the road most of the week. She grew up in Florida playing every sport under the sun which led her to Winthrop University as a collegiate athlete. In grad school at USC she met the love of her life in between living in Italy and traveling to other far off lands. He finally roped her in and she joined him in Greenville in 2006. In 2007 Nikki started mountain biking after being motivated by her in-laws to hit the trails on two wheels instead of two legs and in 2009 she completed her first year of road riding & racing with the GHS Every Woman cycling team. It was a year of firsts from participating in her first race to riding her first full century. In October she and her husband, through the support of friends & family, raised $10,000 and participated in the Challenge to Conquer Cancer ride to Austin with the Palmetto Peloton Project (P3C3).
Nikki’s goals for this year include completing her first triathlon, placing in a Women’s Cat 4 Road race, and placing top 10 in SC State Road Race. She is thankful to find a team like the GHS Every Woman ladies with which to train, ride, race, and have fun.
