Grab Bag: I love riding. I really try and focus on having fun all the time, even when I feel like I am having a hellish ride. My good friends and of course, my sweetie (Jed) are important to me. Jed got me into riding, so I could not ask for a better man! Of course today, when we rode together I “smoked” him on the two biggest climbs. He will never be able to kick my ass on the downhill, either. (LOL)
