Grab Bag: Cross, Cross, Cross, what more is there? I love being on the bike, I love being around friends, especially the women. I've meet some of my best friends through bike racing where no one is serious about racing & yet everyone is serious about racing. Its time for me to get more involved and if I can do it, anyone can. And the Velo Bellas are the best damn group of women to do it with, I'm just sorry it took me sooooo long to join in all the fun I've been missing--Miss Mary
