Personal Note: After getting married, my husband and I purchased road bikes. He became a serious amateur racer, and I was happy being the supportive wife. After his second season, I decided I wanted more than just a chauffeur role on the weekends. I figured it would be great exercise and something we could do together.
He suggested I find a group of women to ride and train with. I found so much more than just any group of women. I found a positive, support system of fast, beautiful women in an incredibly competitive environment who encourage me to strive for excellence. Plus, they are my dear friends. It is an honor and privilege to be on Team Belladium for a second year.
Special thanks to my husband Jeremy for getting me back on a bike after 20 years.
