Biography
Brooke Miller was born in Huntington Beach, California. 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.
Miller became a member of the US National Team in 2007, and competed in Europe, coming second in the first stage and winning the third stage of the Tour de l'Ardèche in France. She also came third in the third stage of the Holland Ladies Tour in Denekamp.
She graduated with a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz in spring 2007, and began racing full-time in 2008, although she does work as a software developer in her spare time.
Following her successful racing season in 2007, Miller continued to ride for Team TIBCO in 2008, and is also the team's Marketing Director, managing "sponsor relations and strategic development, establishing and strengthening growth-oriented industry partnerships."
She is the 2008 United States National Road Race and Criterium Champion. Miller won the first women's criterium to be held alongside the men's Tour of California, the race was sponsored by the Redwood Regional Breast Center. She also competed in the Tour de l'Aude and the Tour of New Zealand.
Miller's ultimate goal was an Olympic gold medal, she had dreamed of this since she was a child. She began chasing her dream in volleyball before switching to cycling. However, she retired from the sport in August 2010 following the Chris Thater Memorial Classic, the official end of the women's NRC calendar. Miller cited difficulty living away from home in Europe and not wanting to make the sacrifices necessary to secure her spot on the 2012 Olympic team as the main reasons behind her retirement.
