She did not start to cycle until she was in graduate school, she had been an elite volleyball player at the University of California at Berkeley. It was not until Miller was invited to attend the USA Cycling Women’s Talent ID camp in 2005, that she learned that women peak older than men, she then started to take cycling seriously.
