Andrew Gardner

Andrew returns to MetLife in 2011 after two seasons on the team. Although he’s had a relatively short bike racing career, his life has been organized by sport.  Andrew is the head coach of the Middlebury College Nordic Ski Team where he spends October through March skiing daily, building training plans for athletes, or traversing the rutted back roads of New England XC ski country in a veggie oil-powered Dodge Ram turbodiesel.  Andrew is a gifted climber.  He has to be.  He lives about halfway up Middlebury Gap, a Vermont climb that eases cyclists from the flats to a gentle 15% incline in about 300 feet and in keeping with the green improvements to MetLife Cycling, he commutes over this climb daily. He shares administrative duties with Peter and Nick on the MetLife team.
