At 57, I entered my first cycle race. Was hooked and have competed in two National Senior Games and have competed in numerous State Senior contests. My goal is to stand on the podium at the 2012 National Senior Games.
When I’m not riding, I work part time at a gym or on the lawn. I retired after spending years in the fast food industry. The “life is good” slogan was written for me.
What would you do with Sponsorship money?:
Help fund my favorite cyclist who is training for the 2012 London Olympics. She quit her full time job to devote to training, so I’m sure she would appreciate the money. She also happens to be my daughter and is the one who got me interested in cycling.
