after a tiring week of various comminques concerning recent events, and with missing the cheq40 for one of the couple times over the past ump-twenty years . . . i find myself in a reflective mood.
so - little quiz, in that vein.
only one WI/MN ( she was pre-WORS )rider has ever won a NORBA / USA Cycling XC Mountain Bike National. she is pictured above. know who it is ??
bonus pints for knowing where her win took place, and which pro team picked her outta the obscurity of WI racing ( which was not that obscure in those days ).
and yes, she was faster than the people today ( obviously ).

well i still don't know any of that computer hooha.
salsa was later, tho ( and gretchen and i received much flow from the salsa credit card on the road ) :) .
she won the norba race at the season opener in texas, riding for nishiki.
the best mtn bike racer to ever come outta WI/MN by a long shot, and nobody knows who she was. i find that odd. ah well.
