Race Category: MTB sport

Nickname: Pizzo, Miss P, Red, Sniper

Residenze: San Francisco

Résumé: Spent 6 years racing mogul skiing in Colorado, and decided that dodging rocks on a mountain bike is a nice compliment to dodging bumps on skis...

My Bikes: Trek 8000 (yes, I only have ONE bike. Very sad. I’m saving my pennies for a pink cruiser with a big cushy white seat and a basket.)

How I support my Bike Habit: Trying to end homelessness in the Bay Area (hence I can only afford one bike)

Best Time on the Bike: King of the Rockies MTB race in Winter Park, Colorado – 26 miles of great singletrack followed by beer, friends, food and more beer

Worst Time on the Bike: Almost getting lost on Porcupine Rim, Moab in 100 degree heat. Don’t try this at home.

My Motto: Bike like a Girl! Ski like a Girl!

Favorite Post-Ride Food: Pepperoni and garlic pizza and a Sunshine Wheat followed by cheesy nachos and a margarita followed by chocolate cake and a glass of merlot

Favorite Web Site: www.shizirt.com (my modeling debut)

Grab Bag: My favorite living thing is a 23-pound cat.
