Reason:
"One fateful day in 2008, my husband went mountain biking with friends. Feeling left out, I asked if I could come along. Chris also has history as a road cyclist and when he suggested that I needed a road bike, I just laughed. “What fun could you have riding on the road," I asked. Then, one day, he said, “Why don’t you give racing a crack?"October 2011 I bought a three-day racing licence through our local Gold Coast Cats Club and decided to try it. I was 30 years old then. I had no idea what the future would hold." (katringarfoot.com, 25 Sep 2017)

AUSTRALIA FAIR
Born in Munich, she moved to Auckland, New Zealand, to study. It was during her time in New Zealand that her relationship with her future husband (Chris), who lived in Australia, began to develop. After commencing her studies, she moved to the Gold Coast, Australia, where she now lives with him. Became an Australian citizen in late 2013. (katringarfoot.com, 25 Sep 2017;smh.com.au, 31 Jul 2014)

FUTURE PLANS
"I decided in May [2017] that I did not want to race in Europe next season. There's just more to life [than pro cycling] and I'm married. My first plan was just to do it until the Rio Olympics, but I wasn't foinf that well that year so I thought Comm Games. Chris [husband] is here by himself and I'm in Europe and that's not very ideal." (heraldsun.com.au, 31 Oct 2017)
