Listen "Ep. 37- Chad Hartley, Cycling couldn't ask for a Better Ambassador"
Episode Synopsis
Chad Hartley is a midwestern guy through and through. He was born and raised in Illinois. As a junior he dabbled in triathlons but it was the bike that was his calling. Versatile is the word I would use with him. He raced the track, road, and crits. He turned pro after a 6th place at the national criterium champs. His first pro team was one that eventually turned into Jittery Joe's. Chad eventually got a ride with TIAA-CREF and went to Europe. His European career was interrupted by having Iliac Artery Endofibrosis. He called it a day on racing in Europe but came back to the states but found a home on teams like Kenda, Sharecare, Alto Velo to Octane. He's still racing, doing a bit of coaching and running the Wisconsin Bicycle Association. Enjoy!
