Some of you may recognize my now grown up daughter from an old photo of her at the helm of my old Frances 26. She's now 6' tall, 15 years old, and completely addicted to mountain bike racing after her first race. She managed to pull of 6th place in the Sophomore girls race helping her team to 2nd overall out of 50+ teams. The girls on the team also set a league record by having 5 of the girls contribute to the "team score" which is the best 10 racers with at least two male and two female. The girls crack me up with their team motto, "Ride fast and take chances!"
