Though Megan Armitage grew up running, playing hockey, and spending all of her freetime outside, she never imagined she would become a professional athlete, let alone a pro cyclist. She was studying abroad in Toulouse for her degree in French law when she and some friends decided to go backpacking in the Pyrénées. After that trip, Megan was hooked.

Megan’s hard work and talent quickly became apparent. She placed second in the Irish road race national championships in 2021, just her second year racing. In 2022, she finished twice in the top ten on stages at the Tour Féminin l'Ardèche. She took her first stage race overall in 2023 at the Vuelta Extremadura Féminas where she also won the queen stage and the points jersey.

She describes herself as an aggressive rider who gets better as the racing gets harder. She is a climber who especially loves Liége-Bastogne-Liége.
