Megan Guarnier left her 10-year pro racing career behind in 2019 and turned her attention immediately to her family, having her first son in December that year. Away from the hectic travel and skirmishes of the new WorldTour for women, the road of retirement was anything but smooth. Guarnier faced a number of personal challenges, including the cancer diagnosis of her husband, Billy, who died in 2021.
Life is often called one big valley of tears, and Guarnier has endured many of those tears and emerged from the valley a victor.
