Residence: Pleasanton, California
Résumé: Tried a lot of sports when in school (cheerleading, swimming, soccer, field events, etc.) and I was even on a bowling league. At 25 years old I tried riding a road bike in an effort to impress a cute guy. After a few years of trying teaching me the ins and outs of riding, the cute guy decided to marry me. I started racing this year (2006). I am going to try my hand at racing the 24 hours of Adrenalin at Laguna Seca! I have taking things to the next level this year and am grateful to have the support of the VeloBella group and Cynthia Robles!
My Bikes: Patrick Cycles custom MTB; Specialized, Hard Rock (MTB); and Bianchi (Road)
How I support by Bike Habit: City Planner
Best Time on the Bike: riding to the top of Mt. Diablo to watch the sunset with my husband (the cute guy that I tried to impress by learning to ride a bike).
Worst Time on the Bike: Every time I crash!!!! “No blood – no glory – no real story”

My Motto:
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Favorite Post-Ride Food: anything with lots of protein.
