Kevin McClure, my wonderful handsome husband.

He is an avid road biker, mountain biker, snowboarding, barefoot waterskiing, and Highest Rating Paragliding Pilot (Class 4) and has been my coach and inspiration for the last 6 years!

I won the Colorado ACA and UCSF Road Race Championships my first year of racing. I wasn’t sure I could even complete the races let alone bring home a gold medal. It one of the greatest feeling of accomplishments I have ever experienced.

Unfortunately, I had a significant set back in the late summer because of a biking accident. I fractured my clavicle and bruised my ribs which took me out of riding until the spring. The healing process is questionable, and I still may require surgery; however, I am continuing to train as there is no significant pain.

My first race was the Bob Cook Memorial Mt. Evans Hill Climb, it was an ACA event and the Colorado Hill Climb Championship --I was disqualified for a centerline infraction half mile into the race (aka I accidentally crossed over the yellow line). Regardless, my unofficial time of 2:21:47 would have placed me #1 of ALL female competitors.
