Liz Wins Cyclocross Both Days in Boston!!

Well, I hate to brag (not!) but my youngest daughter, Liz, continues to blaze a path across the U.S. winning two cyclocross bike races this week-end in Boston. The thing that is so amazing to me is that it's not just about riding fast. In cyclocross, you ride fast around a hilly and curvy course and periodically, you must jump off your bike and jump hurdles, run through sand traps and across log piles, all while carrying your bike!

She has only been doing this type of racing for a couple of months, but this past week-end, in Plymouth, MASS, just south of Boston, she won her category on both Saturday and Sunday! Let's give her a big hand!!

Traveling by bike at the Grand Prix Cyclocross

Today's a big day if you travel by bike and if you travel to Louisville, KY. Today is the famous Papa John's US Grand Prix of cyclocross and my daughter you see to the right, won second place in her category! It was an amazing course and people had to get off their bikes, carry them and run with them, climb stairs with them, ride through sand pits and mud. It was amazing! I love to ride my bike but just for a leisurely trip. No bike racing for me anymore!
She'll ride again tomorrow. Come on down to River Road and watch!
