Off-season adventures

Happy Holidays! Holidays already? It's the perfect time of year to reflect on all we have to be grateful for - friends, family, health, happiness, for the timing of mountain biking having developed into a viable sport, to be lured in, hooked, impassioned, and have the possibility to build a career based on riding the bike! We are thankful for being crazy enough to be willing to toss the cards into bike racing and re-work our life's program around fully living this dream.

MTB "super-couple", former US National cross country champion Mary McConneloug and Mike Broderick live together, train together, travel together and race together. They also share this diary on Cyclingnews.
