As many of you know, I've been racing competitively for the past 4 years and love it just as much as the day I began racing local criteriums here in Chico. I have four State Championship titles in all three disciplines (road race, criterium, and time trial). I have also attended USA Cycling Junior Nationals Championships over the past two years. Before and after State and National Championships, I spend the entire racing season trying to get to any race on the NCNCA calender...because I LOVE racing! This year I have had the privilege of being invited by a junior womens team in Quebec to race Tour de la releve internationale de Rimouski, July 31-Aug 4. This is the largest stage race available for junior women and I will have my first opportunity to race internationally. As much as it will be sad to miss Nationals, I'm embracing the extra time to train for this challenging six stage/four day event and do feel that this is an important step for me.
