| Tell us a little bit about yourself. |
I love to ride and race. I am happiest on 2 wheels. I am happier going up a hill. I am from Hastings, NY and it is hilly. I ran indoor, outdoor and xcountry. I was a 200 and 400 meter specialist but loved it all. I played soccer from middle school through college and ran. The bike is my heart. Oops, all of my bikes are my heart. My dogs and cats are tops too! |

| What's your history? |

I have won numerous awards and traveled outside of the US, most notably to follow Lance Armstrong as I rode the stages of the 20 |

| Tell us about a memorable race experience. |
Every race is indullably etched in my mind. I felt the most confident when I got on my bike at the Rockford crit and my team supported my win, I also felt the same way @ the BTR crit and Maillot Jaune and Terry Reich. This means, I have great teammates and I got lucky! Meeting Lance was great, but meeting George Hincapie and Juan Antonio Flecha and Levi Liepheimer,Jeannie Longo and others wowed me and made me feel positively less than human as they all are rockstars in my world! |
