Cathy Frazier

Favorite bike:

The Trek2000 Tandem that we purchased through Pedaling for Parkinson's

Why/how I started cycling:

Mary Scott Freeman got me to start cycling consistently in the spring of 2003.  She was coaching several of the FCP's spouses on Sunday afternoon rides.

Cycling Goals:
I want to easily do a Flowery Branch 50 and I want to beat other cyclists up those hills.  Do RAGBRAI 2004 in a lot less pain!

Cycling History/Accomplishments:
My greatest physical accomplishment ever was the 464 miles I rode in RAGBRAI 2003 in 7 days averaging 19 mph.  Riding on the back of a tandem going 48.5 mph downhill in Iowa was also an accomplishment for me.

Worst crash:
Fortunately, all my crashes have been at very slow speeds (one of the reasons I crash).  When Ralph and I first started riding the tandem, we had not yet mastered stopping.  When it was time to get off, he forgot I was clipped in and just got off the bike and left me there to splat the pavement.
