Why/how I started cycling: In January 2003 my dad finished a 50 mile bike ride.  He told our family about the other cyclist, the route, and the fun.  I really wanted to do that!  So, my dad said that he would buy me a nice road bike if I got serious about cycling.  So I started riding my old bike a lot with my dad and he kept his promise.

Current Cycling Motivation: I want to ride two fifty-milers by my next birthday!
 

Other Interesting Facts: Swim Team 4 years.  Basketball 1 year.  I rode over 21 miles in one day. I want to ride a century with my mom and dad.  Also, I want to be the very best veterinarian.

Cycling History/Accomplishments: I began riding with FC Kids on May 18, 2003.  I became a Partner on November 16, 2003.
 

Worst crash: I have had two crashes - it runs in my family - my dad is FCP's "Crash King".  My worst crash happened while I was riding with FCP Kids.  We were going uphill and I was going too fast and I was not paying attention.  My front wheel touched Will Freeman's rear wheel and then I crashed!
