Favorite Quotes:
"you don't stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop
playing". So true!
"When I look down, I miss all the good stuff. When I look up, I just trip
over things." – Ani DiFranco. (This quote reminds me to keep a level head
no matter what is coming at me).

Three items you bring if stuck on a deserted island alone? Humm, Rope to build shelter and a spear with. A magnified glass to start fires and cook. And obviously my bike to keep me amused.

What's the best thing about riding for an all girls company?
Being able to relate to everyone and connect on a personal level whilst
pushing our own and each others boundary's.

Describe your daily routine:
A typical race day: (Sunday)
Get up at 6:00 am, shower, eat, go to race, do one practice run before
qualifying, clean bike, 10:30 warm up 11:00 Qualifying run. clean and work
on bike, eat pasta at 12:45. 13:50 warm up 14:20 Final Race Run. 15:00 -
18:00 doping, podium interviews etc. clean and pack bike. Then either
drown my sorrows or celebrate. 9:00 am Monday role out to the next race
venue.

Any Last Comments? Thank you to everyone who's supported me over The years,I could not be where I am today without each and every one of you. Ride hard ladies, you can rest when you die! ;)
