Sabine Dukes

Race Category: 11

Residenze: 7th floor

Résumé: Well accessorized domestique and realy good number pinner.

My Bikes: KONA and Schwinn Fair Lady Stingray.

How I support by Bike Habit: Charm

Best Time on the Bike: There is not enough space here to list them all, here's a highlight reel: Watching the sun rise during the first lap at dawn of a 24 hour race, anytime on my cross bike zipping randomly and freely between the trails, roads, and singletrack of Ft Ord; Singing 80s songs on the climbs during a lazy/long mountain bike ride with the finest of friends; ANYTIME I ride the Fair Lady

Worst Time on the Bike: Bonking on training rides with the boys, trying to hide the fact that I'm bonking so that the guys don't think I am a sissy girl, but being on the verge of tears because I can't keep up and low blood sugar is making me whiny. And anytime spent on the trainer. And climbing my driveway.

My Motto: : Baboon butts are not us

Favorite Post-Ride Food: Beer and big ol oily, salty, garlicky fries and beer. And cheese.

Favorite Web Site:
My little Gallery
Drunk Cyclist
Fark.com
The Smoking Gun
Radio Paradise
Found

Grab Bag: For most of us, this is just what we choose to do in our free time. Jeannie Longo may have scrubbed my toilet , but I will never beat her up a climb or score as many rainbow jerseys. Nope. Instead here I am racing around with my friends in the middle of nowhere, CA (sorry Merced) in the rain, with snot coming out of my nose, my legs searing, my lungs burning, my eyes tearing, in the hope that maybe I'll score a tshirt. Damn life is good.

Hey Sabine, I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you more after the race yesterday, or DURING! Great website and one of the best parts of racing is making new friends. Seems like you have a great time out there and so do I. Let's chat next time. Good race. See you at Wente?

Awesome gallery (ies) ... just browsed the Cx Natz gallery and had to laugh outloud at some of your captions. I love it when people just have fun being themselves. We all may need locked up but the medication comes on 2 wheels and should be administered daily!

How heavy are the headphones? Would they inhibit my hokey pokey action? I think I might have to choose the roller skates/slayer option. I can pretend that the slayer song is some fine disco tune and get my roller boogie on. Geez. do I have to do it while eating too? What about pottie breaks? I'm just stoked I did not get the bag of ticks on the head option.

would you rather eat a single pound of gumballs. that is to say, chew up, and swallow. you know, the big ones that are sickeningly sweet... or spend every waking moment, for a year,wearing roller skates, and only being allowed to listen to one slayer song, of your choice, on some gigantic orange head phones?

Nice gallery pics! Cool org, I didn't know there were so many Velo Bellas until the Cats Hill Crit. Thanks also for joining our usual Sunday morning mayhem, hope you all can join us again some time :-)

Sabine, CPAs Rock! I'm one too, and I'm the CPA for one of your sponsors, GU. You gals are having way too much fun! Stay silly and continue to have fun. I also have a posting at pbase. It's www.pbase.com/ejcpa

Um, make that "Don't believe this nonsense" below . . . it was there when I posted. This is a conspiracy . . .

Charles		21-Jan-2003 06:07
Don't this nonsense Beth is spouting about being a freeleance cycling photographer. The truth is that she really likes taking pictures of nude and mutilated bicycle frames. There's a crawlspace underneath her house that is full of them. If only I could get the police to believe me . . .

Hi, Sabine!! As a fellow CPA (eek!) & freelance cycling photographer, I just wanted to let you know that I really liked your photos on Cycling News!! And, the VeloBella thing as just too fun! Best of Luck, Beth
